>>43164772The only thing that makes a tortoise a tortoise is being fully terrestrial.
There are several aquatic turtles that are less closely related to each other than some freshwater turtles are to tortoises, but we call them turtles anyway.
It's a stupid thing to get autistic over anyway, it's like saying "ackshully that's a gecko, NOT a lizard!" Tortoises are turtles.
