What is a "tortoise"?
A tortoise is a reptile characterized by its slow movement, protective shell, and herbivorous diet. It has short, sturdy legs and can live for many decades, with some individuals reaching remarkable ages. A tortoise is well adapted to life on land and is often found in various habitats, from deserts to grasslands, where it grazes on vegetation and basks in the sun. Its hard shell provides it with protection against predators, and it can withdraw its head, legs, and tail into the shell for added defense.
