The distinction between a turtle, tortoise or terrapin comes from what habitat they are adapted to live in. Marine-based turtles spend most of their lives at sea, only returning to land to lay eggs.

Seemed like an obvious answer was that they contain water and it becomes heavier… Looked it up and its quite interesting to revisit the basics… rain clouds are gray instead of white because of their thickness, or height.
