Stop drowning tortoises
People in the US are accidentally drowning baby tortoises by mistaking them for turtle hatchlings and "releasing" them into the water.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) says it knows of three "well-intentioned good Samaritans" who have made the error...
"Because gopher tortoises often nest in dunes adjacent to sea turtle
nesting beaches, correct identification of these terrestrial animals is
important before deciding what action, if any, is necessary... Gopher tortoises have toes, with claws on each toe. Sea turtles have flippers."

what's the difference between tortoises and regular turtles?

You're sitting in front of the most powerful information-gathering device in the history of mankind. Perhaps you could learn to use it rather than ask others for help.
