Here's The Real Difference Between A Turtle And A Tortoise - Grunge

Juice, as you'll probably know, comes in all sorts of varieties too. The ever-popular orange juice tends to dominate the juice world, but there are many other popular types besides. Apple is also a quintessential juice flavor, as is the particularly tart grapefruit juice, and so on. Many people have many different favorites. While they can all be lumped into the simple category of "juice," there are vital distinctions to be made. Which brings us to the whole tortoise and turtle issue.

As Britannica reports, both turtles and tortoises are defined by their characteristic shells, and their classification as both reptiles and members of the Testudines order. In this regard, they are very similar.

What sets them apart from each other?  It boils down to their lifestyle habitats and eating habits. In terms of food access, the two go hand in hand, and this is just one important reason why you'll never see a tortoise in your local swimming pool.
