Is This A Turtle Or A Tortoise by Oluwolex2000(op): 12:26am On Sep 05, 2016

This afternoon a farmer just harvested his fish from the pond. After harvesting, he noticed this creature and was surprised, he brought it to me and asked if it's a turtle ( stays in water) or tortoise ( stays on land) .

I told him that there isn't much difference between the two, but the common difference is their place of habitation, so I concluded it was a turtle since it was found in an aquatic area. See some pictures below, you can watch the video for more details. Any alternate answer please?

Putting in a water should be the easiest way to confirm.

Those claws on its limb clearly show it is a tortoise, turtles have web-like limbs.

Tortoise may also wade into water to clean itself or take a drink.

It's clearly a tortoise. Some specie of tortoise love to stay in water.
