How do pet turtles spend the winter?
In addition to hibernation, pet turtles can also heat up for the winter, that is, artificially increase the temperature of the water so that the temperature is higher than the temperature at which the tortoise hibernates, so that the tortoise will not hibernate. Because the tortoise does not hibernate, it will consume energy, so it needs to be fed.
How long can the tortoise live?
Turtles are one of the few animals that live longer than humans. How long is the life span of the turtle? Relevant data show that: "its natural life is generally 150 years." according to relevant textual research, there are more than 300 years, and some even over a thousand years. " What is the secret of tortoise longevity? Scientists have found that turtles not only have a slow metabolism, but also slow down their physiological rhythm and enter a state of suspended animation. Cell studies have found that the reproductive algebra of animal fibroblasts is proportional to animal lifespan. The cell differentiation of tortoise is slow, and there are many times of reproduction. Its fibroblasts can reach 125 generations in vitro, while human fibroblasts can only reach 50 generations.
Why can turtles live so long?
Turtles can live long because they have hard carapace and can enter "hibernation" and "summer hibernation" in cold or hot seasons, so that their metabolism is very slow, energy consumption is also very low, and their ability to endure hunger, thirst and hypoxia is particularly strong. Hainan Island has mild weather and rich wild food, which is very suitable for the breeding of turtles. Turtles grow in mountains, rivers, ditches, coastal swamps and dense forests in Hainan.
The natural enemies of turtles are mainly mice, snakes and some birds. Rats are the most harmful and can bite or even kill turtles. Ants often crawl and eat cracked turtle eggs, so in culture management, attention should be paid to prevent the invasion of these natural enemies.
