I just want to point out that the german word for turtle is Schildkröte which are the words Schild (shield) and Kröte (toad) smashed together.

In addition, the German language does not really differentiate between turtles and tortoises: both are called "shield toads", but if you want to be more specific, you can say "water shield toads" or "land shield toads", respectively.

Similarly to Dutch.
