I Caught This In Lagos: Is This A Tortoise Or Turtle? by pezeji(op): 7:40pm On Apr 29, 2020

As a result of this lockdown, boredom became too much and I went fishing in a nearby water behind my building here in ago, Lagos State.

Fortunately I caught this little, innocent and shy animal.

It's my new pet

Based on its habitat, its a turtle.

That's a tortoise, turtles can't hide in their shell like this.

After thought
I did a little more research and differentiating turtles from tortoises is harder than merely looking at them. You have to know their names and what it looks like to actually say this is a turtle or tortoise.

My initial comment is a green turtle specific characteristic.

Tortoises are terrestrial.

Turtles are aquatic

You caught it close to a body of water so it is a turtle...

That isn't enough...

It has a smooth leather-like black shell so it is a turtle... Tortoises have rough mostly multicolored hard shells.

Please!!! Most species of turtles are endangered. You can make a difference by releasing this young animal back into the water. Please support conservation... You can research more about the status of turtles... Thanks

Do you need an article (Research, Proposal, News, Academic, etc) writer? Do send a mail to ero2writes@gmail.com. If you're TB and you need a B, contact as well... Thanks

Check the feet. Most turtles have webbed feet. Tortoises have feet like chicken, most turtles like duck.
