Sounds more like they were her pets.
It’s so sad that she always outlives her pets
After Darwin owned the tortoise, it had to be sent away to animal prison. She was too much of a hard case
It seems like a joke, but she really was cold-blooded.
I told my dog these jokes and she said, “that’s scute.”
It’s not certain this is true, but it’s somewhat likely. At least, that’s what I’m getting from the Wikipedia article.

She was not kept as a pet by Darwin, but she may have been collected by him on a journey, then kept at a museum(?)
Thank god he didn’t eat her.
Turtle: “I’ve got connections.”
*Tortoise
All tortoises are turtles but not all turtles are tortoises
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.
And they’re both dead now. Someone look into that turtle
owned?
Yeah. Like women, turtles are property /s

Tortoise. Turtles are aquatic and have flippers. Terrapins have webbed claws and are active on both land and water. Tortoise only live on land and they have feet with blunt nails.
If the order Testudines refers to turtles then all tortoises are turtles (though not all turtles are tortoises).
All squares are turtles. All circles are turtles. It’s turtles all the way down.
