Chinese tortoise (certain introduction)

The Chinese tortoise is also called the golden-threaded tortoise, the long-lived tortoise, the mountain tortoise, etc. It is currently mainly distributed in China, South Korea and Japan. This turtle has high dietary supplement and ginseng value. In recent years, many people regard it as a safe animal to prolong life, so the number of people raising Chinese tortoises has also increased.

The Chinese tortoise mainly uses its lungs to breathe, and it has a thick carapace on its body. Its main function is to reduce the evaporation of water in the body, so it does not need to survive completely in the water. Chinese tortoises have a long lifespan and can live for decades or even hundreds of years. Their growth rate is relatively slow, their quality is good, and they are typical omnivorous creepers, so they are very suitable for public raising.

As for how big a tortoise can grow, there is almost no scientific basis, but the body weight of a female Chinese tortoise raised under artificial conditions is about 3 pounds, and the body length is about 28cm, while the male turtle is Smaller than the female turtle, with a body weight of about one pound and a body length of about 15cm. The wild Chinese tortoise hibernates every year. During the hibernation period, due to poor conditions and lack of food, the nutrients cannot keep up, and eventually lead to the Chinese tortoise. Tortoises grow slowly, and their body weight and size are naturally not as large as those of domesticated Chinese tortoises!
