So I just learned that’s true in America, but not particularly anywhere else (Australians actually go the other way and have “freshwater tortoises”). Explains a lot about the present situation.
Australian tortoises aren’t tortoises. Australian turtles are commonly mistaken for tortoises (as they sometimes come onto land) and so get incorrectly called that sometimes.
Where did you learn that that’s only an American thing? I don’t live in America. I’d be interested to learn more if you’re right, but I can’t find anything to support your claim
All tortoises are turtles but not all turtles are tortoises
