The Tortoise is a slow-moving reptile known for its hard shell, which provides protection from predators. Tortoises are part of the order Testudines and can be found in various habitats, including deserts, forests, and wetlands. They are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, leaves, and fruits. Tortoises are long-lived creatures, with some species living over 100 years. They have a unique way of moving, using their sturdy legs to walk slowly. Unlike turtles, which are adapted for swimming, tortoises are land-dwellers and spend most of their time on solid ground.
