Tortoises ( /ˈtɔːr.təs.ɪz/, Testudinidae) are a family of land-dwelling reptiles in the order Testudines. Like their marine cousins, the sea turtles, tortoises are shielded from predators by a shell. The top part of the shell is the carapace, the underside is the plastron, and the two are connected by the bridge. The tortoise has an endoskeleton with an adaptation of having an external shell fused to the ribcage. Tortoises can vary in size from a few centimeters to two meters. Tortoises are usually diurnal animals with tendencies to be crepuscular depending on the ambient temperatures. They are generally reclusive animals.
Although the word is used by biologists in reference to the family Testudinidae only, in colloquial usage it is often used to describe many land-dwelling Testudines. The inclusiveness of the term depends on the variety of English being used.

Stranded on an island after his ship was wrecked by a hurricane, Porky meets a friendly African Native. They build a house, and Porky begins to explore the island. On his way we see various sight gags. First, Porky finds a parrot that won't say, 'Polly wants a cracker' because he's waiting for the $64 question. We also see monkey's playing craps, and a monkey who can't seem to climb up a 'Slippery Elm.' Then, Porky sees animals crowded around a water cooler. Porky is then confronted by African Natives who chase him off the island. Porky escapes by chopping a motorboat out of a tree and drives away in it with his African friend. But when the Natives throw spears at the boat, Porky puts an American flag on the back of the boat, and the spears back off.

It comes just like a comet
I see it I feel this feeling over me
I'm doing everything to support my each and every dream
And when my dream is this close to me I can't help but scream
That this way's the way for me
I'll make you see that this way's the way for me
I'll make you see what is meant by dedication
You put your heart to something true
These things that mean the world to you
For example this simple machine means a billion things to me
There's nothing you can do to stop me or this machine
I'll make you see that this way's the way for me
I'll make you believe these things we know
Take the time to show this brand new road this brand new home
Once as a hare forever the tortoise
This head safe to see this so far
This heart safe to take this so far
Forever the tortoise
My protective shell protects my insides
From all foul attempts to take this passion
I know what it takes to normalize
To slow me down and cut me down to size
I wanna get that feeling to touch the ceiling
So send me reeling, I wanna know
How can I ease my mind, ease my mind?
Yeah, I'm being taken away
I'm feeling that I'm finding my way
To something that's completely overwhelming me
I get tired of most everything
I anxiously await the gifts you bring
I spend my time thinking and I hate thinking
To stop this thinking I want to know
