(62,444 posts)Or are the things like "snapper turtles" actually tortoises? I could never get that straight.
I do enjoy a good snapper soup. Eating sea turtles is, of course, illegal almost everywhere except for Cayman, where they raise them in a turtle hatchery which has been no stranger to controversy.

Tortoises are non-swimming turtles.
Terrapins are swimming turtles that live in fresh and brackish waters, ie. tidal estuaries; and are eaten as a delicacy along the mid-Atlantic (ie. Maryland - "The Terrapin State"
Sea turtles, of course, live and swim in the ocean.

(41,832 posts)I grew up chewing on Leonardo toys... LOVED the Turtles, and by the way the Comics were freaking awesome! I think Dark Horse put them out, but I could be wrong. Loved all the Turtle Movies, and they were corny as hell...but Hella fun!
