Tortoise is a fun word to write.
They live on land. Have huge shells, the Galapagos tortoises can grow to be 6 feet long. Their bodies do not detach from their shell. The carapace is the outer shell. Cedrik loves being a tortoise and turtle. He dug a hole for his eggs, and waited for them to hatch. He was protected in his shell (the coffee table) from falling objects and Freddie's fists.
We watched a beautiful documentary on a sea turtle. We also watched a tortoise lay eggs (he found this completely fascinating).
He learned they eat mainly vegetables but if they get hungry enough will eat dead animals. Fun stuff.
