1 Galapagos tortoises, measuring up to 4 feet long and weighing as much as 700 pounds, are the world's largest tortoise species. Tortoises and turtles are actually the same animal. Yet, the distinction is drawn based on the type of habitats in which they dwell -- tortoises on land and turtles in water.
