If you could explain in a way that has clear evidence... First of all, they aren't the same. They look similar, because it's an excellent design, but they are not identical by any means. Secondly, the reason they look so similar is because the design works. Nature doesn't need to reinvent the wheel here, and there's not much the turtle can naturally improve on.
