Tortoise is land based. Turtle is water based. The shape of the shell is more humped in the Tortoise.

And I guess the paws must be different, also.

Yes, I thought that for animals were paws. Is it wrong?

A paw can be a foot, but a foot cannot be paw. People do not have paws, but racoons do. So, what animals have paws? Cats, dogs, racoons, bears, weasels, mice (rodents), fox, wolves.

There are actually some land turtles, like the North American Box Turtle. One key difference is that a turtle can pull everything into its shell and a tortoise can't.
replyFunny that there is a distinction in English. In Portuguese, we just have one common use word (tartaruga). And in French, I only knew one word (tortue), as well as in Spanish (tortuga). I looked them all up, and in all these other languages, we use extra words to distinguish the sea one (marinha, marina, de mer) from the land one (terrestre, terrestre, de terre). Interesting!

The pause that refreshes...this puzzle (and the commentary) were just what I needed this morning. Thank you al! I was thinking it could be a tortoise or a snapping turtle. they have really steepled points on there backs backs, rather like this one.but they are moody...

A turtle lives in water. A tortoise lives on land. A turtle's not a tortoise, it's not hard to understand.
TURTLE!
