About the Tortoise
Tortoises are land-living reptiles that carry a hard, dome-shaped shell for protection. Unlike sea turtles, they stay on dry land and have sturdy, stumpy legs for walking rather than flippers. Tortoises are famously slow and remarkably long-lived, with some passing 100 years of age. A gentle fit for a desert or slow-and-steady theme, echoing the fable of the tortoise and the hare.
- A tortoise can pull its head straight back into its shell for safety.
- Some tortoises live more than 100 years.
- Tortoises live on land, while their turtle cousins often live in or near water.
