Tortoise

Unlike other members of the Testudines order,
tortoises are not sea-dwelling and live on land.
Known for their large and spacious shells, tortoises
can withdraw their heads, tail, and all of their limbs
inside their protective carapaces when they feel
threatened.
Scientific Name: Family TestudinidaeCharacteristics:
Accurately modeled and meticulously hand-painted,
this tortoise figurine exhibits the large domed shell
and long limbs that are characteristic of many
tortoise species. The texture and ridges along this
model's limbs are also faithful, depicting the thick
plates of dead skin that tortoises develop over their
lifetime for extra protection!
Size and Color: 4.75 inches long and 2.5 inches
wide, this pokey pal is about the size of a soda can
turn on its side. Its striking brown and yellow shell
and sandy skin are professionally hand-painted,
making it a great addition to any enthusiast's
collection.
