Tortoises are members of the turtle clan who spend most of their time primarily on land. Some tortoises are among the longest living animals and can live to over 150 years old! History: Tortoises are turtles that spend most of their time on dry land, rather than in or near water like terrapins or sea turtles. They usually have high-backed shells and large thick limbs. As the popular fable "The Tortoise and the Hare" depicts, many tortoises are quite slow-moving. They are also quite slow aging, and have one of the longest lifespans of any vertebrate. Scientific Name: Family Testudinidae. Characteristics: In reality, tortoises can grow quite large, but these hand-painted, highly detailed miniature tortoises will stay tiny forever!
