Possum Creek. Adults and children alike will love exploring the blend of nature, history and community at Possum Creek. Hike together in one of Ohioâs best examples of a tall grass prairie. Itâs hard to imagine that this home for butterflies and bluebirds was once degraded farmland.
Turtles and tortoises are closely related. They are both reptiles from the same family (Testudines or Chelonian). The main difference between the two is that turtle is the name given to water-dwellers and tortoise is the name given to land-dwellers.
They are also vertebrates, i.e. they have backbones. With the exception of crocodiles and some other lizards, almost all of the reptiles and amphibians have a three-chambered heart. However, like all things reptiles and amphibians have their differences, as well. They main difference between reptiles and amphibians are that reptiles live on land, whereas amphibians live on both land and water. The word âAmphibianâ is derived from the Ancient Greek term, âamphibiousâ which means âboth kinds of lifeâ.
