How cute. I used to have desert tortoises when I was a child, one would sit under our apricot tree and eat the apricots that fell all summer.

In the US, what's the difference between a turtle and a tortoise?

Here in the UK a turtle is the aquatic, swimming version, e.g. leatherback or green turtle. A tortoise is a walking, dry land version, e.g. galapagos or box tortoise.

In the US can they be either? Strange.

Aw, that's cute! One good thing about being a young turtle or tortoise is that your parents can't get mad with you for taking too long at the dinner table! ... Or do they still have arguements?

Momma turtle/tortoise: "C'mon Junior, eat your Raspberry."
Junior: "But I'm getting full!"
Momma: I only gave you one Rasberry. You can't possibly be full."
Junior: "But I'm only little, and I'm going as fast as I can!.. Besides.. Who came up with this day and a half time limit for dinner?"
