Answer 1

Are you sure you are not confusing tortoise with turtle. Whilst related they are quite different in that the tortoise is land dwelling and the turtle water dwelling. Most turtles have elongated snouts whilst no tortoise I am aware of has an elongated snout.

Even the answer above quoting from Wikipedia, (Not to be taken as gospel because of all the naughty Wikipedia contributors deliberately posting erroneous info just for fun,) gives a description of a turtle and not a tortoise.

Hope that helps, you should be able to find all the info you want on life science/university websites without relying of Wikipedia, and you will find that the long snouted species are turtles. If there is a species of tortoise with a long snout I'd be very happy to be wrong

Answer 2

The African SPURRED Tortoise, Geochelone sulcata, is the same because of the fact the Sulcata Tortoise. The confusion comes with a tortoise from the Mediterranean- the Greek Tortoise, greater suited observed as the Mediterranean SPUR-THIGHED Tortoise. in case you like to get fairly at a loss for words, attempt to untangle the Greek, Spur-thighed, and Iberian Tortoise bit!

Answer 3

Ah yes, the Lesser Spotted Long Beaked Tortoise.





Sorry!

Answer 4

The Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina), or more formally referred to as Common Snapping Turtle when distinguishing them from their larger cousins (Macrochelys), and are popularly nicknamed "snappers". They are large freshwater turtles of the family Chelydridae, ranging from southeastern Canada west to the Rocky Mountains (and beyond, where introduced), and south through Mexico to Ecuador.

Common snappers are noted for their pugnacious dispositions when out of the water, their powerful beak-like jaws and their highly mobile head and neck (hence the specific name "serpentina," meaning "snake-like"). They have rugged, muscular builds with ridged shells (though these ridges tend to be more pronounced in younger individuals). The carapace length in adulthood may be nearly 50 cm (20 inches) (though 20-36 cm, or 8-14 inches, is more common), with C. serpentina and its subspecies commonly weighing up 4.5-16 kg (10-35 lb). Exceptional individuals may reach 34 kg (75 lb). In some areas they are hunted heavily for their meat, a popular ingredient in turtle soup. Common snappers have lived for up to 39 years in captivity, while the lifespan of wild individuals is estimated to be around 30 years.

Common snappers have long tails with spiky protrusions, as well as long flexible necks which can reach one-half to two-thirds of the length of their shells, making handling dangerous. They cannot fully retract their head and appendages, relying on fierce displays when aggravated. Their snapping jaws and sharp claws are capable of inflicting serious injury up to and including amputation of digits.
