Answer:

Turtles are different from tortoises: true

Explanation:

  • Tortoises and turtles are both reptiles from the order of testudines, but in different classification families.
  • The major difference between the two is that tortoises dwell on land, while turtles live in the water some or nearly all of the time.
  • The bodies of tortoises and turtles are both shielded by a shell, the upper part of which is called carapace, with the lower portion called a plastron.
  • Tortoises have more rounded and domed shells where turtles have thinner, more water dynamic shells.
  • Turtle shells are more streamlined to aim in swimming.

Hence, tortoises and turtles are different.
