But zeeschildpad doesn’t include things like box turtles that live near bodies of water but not all the time, right? I guess here in Belgium we just use “schildpad” for everything.
It also sounds cooler to translate it to shield-toad lol
Comment on English has too many words for animals

idk what a box turtle even is 😭 but here in the netherlands we call all of them “schildpad” too. literally no normal human here will say “look a zeeschildpad” (except for biologists probably)
