I have noticed that as you scroll down the debatable section my profile picture is very frequent. I will apologise in advance for the side of me that loves debating and get on with the topic.
I'll just put it bluntly, tortoises are not well adapted at all. All other pets have adaptations but when I think of it, my beloved tort does not. His ears have a think layer of skin over them so he can barely hear (like a bat.) His nostrils are tiny and he probably can't smell like a cat. He can't run from predators and he is to bulbous to hide under small rocks. His shell is easily breakable from sharp teeth that try to penetrate it and he can get sick rather easily. If someone can prove me wrong, please do
That's what learning is all about
