      I’d go for turtles – i jsut like the idea of them swimming across oceans. Tortoises (aswell as me being never sure how to say it!) always seem a little slow and dull!! Although giant tortoises are pretty cool!

      I respect them both, but have to say Torterra is cooler than either of them.

      I think Turtles are cooler too. they swim (I don’t think tortoises do) and I don’t believe they hibernate in the same way as tortoises, so they are awake more often and therefore more interesting!

      Hi Oliveerrr
      I once had an American friend who lived in New Jersey, who had a stream at the bottom of her garden in which lived snapper turtles. They could get quite big, and by all accounts had a quite a bite, which happily I did not experience. But they were certainly cool.

      Hi oliverr,
      I think both are pretty cool! I think tortoises are my fave though!
