Thx.

Hmm no one answered you yet. Oh dear. I think that @Markw84 would be able to explain nicely. His explanations are always good.

A tortoise doesn’t drink through its nose exactly.

A tortoise’s nasal passages are connected directly to the mouth, unlike yours, so breathing and drinking are through the mouth and what goes up the nose ends up in the mouth anyway

That is a good explanation. Thank you.
