Tortoises (Testudinidae) are a family of land-dwelling reptiles that like their aquatic cousins, the turtles, are shielded from predators by a shell. Tortoises can vary in size from a few inches to 4 feet.

Primarily herbivores, they feed on grazing grasses, weeds, leafy greens, flowers, and some fruits, although certain species occasionally consume worms or insects.
