Turtle Ring in 925 Silver and Opal Stone

With a decidedly singular appearance and now part of the common imagination, the turtle is a reptile that can inhabit aquatic or terrestrial environments. Some species of turtles even live for many years, but you need to know their ethological needs and habits very well.

The turtle is a reptile, aquatic or terrestrial , belonging to the order of the Cheloni or Testudines . These animals have very ancient origins and have undergone little change in the course of evolution.

These particular reptilians are present throughout the continent, with the exception of the Antarctic lands. In these places, in fact, the climatic conditions do not allow their survival. However, tropical and subtropical regions are the habitats where biodiversity is greatest.

In addition to having entered the common imagination for their extraordinary slowness, these animals are also characterized by a remarkable longevity. The average age, however, varies considerably from species to species. The longevity record belongs to the giant tortoises, which can easily exceed 100 years of life.

As pets they are only apparently easy to manage. In reality, they may require special care and careful knowledge of their ethological needs and lifestyle habits.

Reptile turtle

The body of these particular reptiles is typically covered by a dorsal armor, a sort of protective shell called a carapace . The belly, on the other hand, is flattened and covered with bony plates. The head, tail and limbs can be retracted into the ventral plastron .

Turtles can be either aquatic , marine or freshwater, or terrestrial . While aquatic specimens are predators, terrestrial specimens are herbivores. Usually we speak of tortoises to indicate specimens adapted to terrestrial life.
