Turtle Earrings in 925 Silver

With a decidedly singular appearance and now part of the common imagination, the turtle is a reptile that can live in an aquatic or terrestrial environment. Some species of turtles can 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 Chelonia or Testudines . These animals have truly ancient origins and have undergone little change in the course of evolution.

These particular reptiles 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 record for longevity belongs to giant tortoises, which can easily live over 100 years.

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 in dorsal armour, a sort of protective shell called a carapace . The belly, however, is flattened and covered with bony plates. The head, tail and limbs can be retracted within the ventral plastron .

Turtles can be both aquatic , marine or freshwater, and terrestrial . While aquatic specimens are predators, terrestrial ones are herbivores. We usually talk about tortoises to indicate specimens adapted to terrestrial life.
