Turtles and Tortoises  are similar because they both lay eggs on land, and eat vegetables. They are both very slow movers as well. Turtles can swim, however Tortoises can not swim for long and live mostly on land. Turtles can live for 20-30 years while Tortoises can live for 100-150 years. Although Turtles have thin, flatter shells on top, Tortoises have thick shells with a round dome on top. Turtles mainly live in water and they come out on land to lay their eggs. Tortoises have toes and claws but on the other hand Turtles have big flippers and they have webbed feet so they can move easily through the water.
