Can I have a giant tortoise?
I am aware of the square-cube law, so what conditions do I need for this to work ? The tortoise will be a similar size to the isle of Wight and will walk around in shallow areas in the ocean. What conditions do I need for this to be feasible without magic? I am aware of other questions about similar things such as oceanic creatures swimming underwater and turtles, but I believe this is different as tortoises do not swim fully submerged and are not turtles and would as I propose walk rather than swim. What I believe is the main question is what limits in size are there as the tortoise would be half an submerged walking with its head above the water.
Finally the question is what conditions do I need, not magical ,to have the tortoises proposed?
