Trivia

 * Turtles are just one of only a few pets (such as Pet Polar Bears, Pet Hippos, and Pet Penguins) that can be used both on land and in water.
 * Turtles can be customized with flippers or legs, but they can still go underwater and on land with either choice.
 * Turtles are the first pet to be able to go on Land and Water.
 * As with most amphibious pets, the land accessories cannot be used underwater and vice versa.
 * When they were first released, they would automatically sleep when the player went idle for a short time, but that feature has since been removed.
 * In the Pet Stop, the turtle can get a ninja mask and katanas, which may be a reference to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
 * The turtle's action when clicked (tucking into its shell and sliding) may be a reference to the Koopa Troopas from Super Mario Bros.
