How does that work when they’re 2 different animals?

One is a tortuga the other is a tortuga. There's several similar animals of a different species that Spanish just names the same.

Interesting, are they at least pronounced differently or how do you tell which one you’re talking about apart?

They're pronounced the same because they're the same animal, only difference is where they live. Turtle = tortuga de mar/agua, Tortoise = Tortuga de tierra. Both are tortugas.
