Found in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Madagascar, and a wide array of islands, tortoises are explicitly land dwelling turtles. Tortoises use their large, spacious shells as a defense mechanism, and can withdraw all their limbs inside of it when threatened.
Scientific Name: Family Testudinidae
Characteristics: Accurately modeled and meticulously hand painted, this tortoise figurine exhibits the large domed shell and long limbs that are characteristic of many tortoise species. A great gift for nature enthusiasts, this model is beautifully crafted and scientifically accurate!
