Tortoises or land turtles are land-dwelling reptiles of the family of Testudinidae, order Testudines. Like their marine cousins, the sea turtles, tortoises are shielded from predators by a shell. The top part of the shell is the carapace, the underside is the plastron, and the two are connected by the bridge. The tortoise has both an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton. Tortoises can vary in size from a few centimeters to two meters. Tortoises tend to be diurnal animals with tendencies to be crepuscular depending on the ambient temperatures. They are generally reclusive animals.i think me and "kure2" @ tortoise has quite similar personality...but, i don't what is it...there is a bond between us that i can't find...hahaha...
just kiding..actually, i think 'kure2' is such a cool animal in animal kingdom..even it not move fast enough, but it still can reach it's destination with it's determination and patient.... slow and steady..
