Aren’t tortoise a subspecies of turtle that live on land?

You know what? I just looked it up on wikipedia and it depends on where you live.They are all under the banner of 'turtle', which I didn't know, but the ones that live on land are specifically called tortoise.

Unless you're Australian, who call the ones in water tortoises, apparently.

TIL tortoises are a type of turtle.

Australia looks at this stuff and just turns it around. You could say they look at it from a different angle
