Tortoises and Turtles seem to be the same, but they are not. There are differences, which are given below.

Tortoise grows only two to four inches long, whereas a sea Turtle can reach four feet in length.

Turtles occur across a range of ecosystems from oceans to deserts to tropical wetlands, but Tortoises are purely terrestrial and will not be seen inhabiting water.
