    A box tortoise, also known as a box turtle, is a type of land-based turtle that belongs to the Emydidae family. They are known for their domed shell, which is hinged at the bottom, allowing the animal to retract its head and legs completely inside for protection, resembling a sealed box. These tortoises are typically found in North America and some parts of Asia. They are omnivores and their lifespan can extend up to 50 years or more.
