Turtles and tortoises, like birds, have "beaks". These horny coverings of both the upper and owner jaws tend to grow continuously for life. In the wild, the upper and lower beaks wear down as fast as they grow. In captivity, however, they overgrow, and periodically must be trimmed by an experienced veterinarian or veterinary technician.
