Characteristics of sea turtles

Once, the world was ruled by dinosaurs. After vicissitudes of life, dinosaurs suffered catastrophe and disappeared from the world. Now, the world is dominated by human beings. At the same time, although the extinction of dinosaurs was almost a disaster for the creatures on the earth at that time, many creatures survived tenaciously.

The cockroach that appeared in our home, that is, the cockroach, is also a creature that exists at the same time as the dinosaur. In addition to cockroaches, the ancestors of true snapping turtles in turtles can also be traced back to the Triassic dinosaur era more than 200 million years ago. There were "primitive snapping turtles" on the earth at that time.

So what are the characteristics of turtles that keep them alive now? Yan Xiaoer happens to have a Brazilian tortoise, which is about two years old now. Based on his understanding of his habits, let's talk about the characteristics that made the tortoise continue from the dinosaur period to the present.

1, turtles have strong adaptability. To tell the truth, most common domestic pets in our lives are adaptable and easy to feed. Needless to say, among the minority pets, hamsters and turtles that most people choose to keep also have great advantages in adaptability. These little guys have their "cute spots", which are easier to feed.

Yan Xiaoer's turtle was "given" by his classmates, and it was also "forced jam". My classmates bought it on a whim and didn't intend to keep it for a long time. Seeing that I prefer to keep small animals, they urged me to take them home. I didn't want to take over, but I was sorry, so I took over.

I have no experience in raising turtles, so I searched online for the elements that should be paid attention to when eating and drinking Lazar. Can't call it more attention. I have kept this turtle for almost two years. Little turtle doesn't need me to spend too much time changing water regularly, basking in the sun occasionally, preparing food, and paying attention to hibernation in winter. Now she is alive and well.

In fact, this also reflects the turtle's strong adaptability. Presumably, this is one of the main reasons why turtles, as animals coexisting with dinosaurs, can still continue to this day.

2, you can not eat for a long time. It's 1 1 month. The temperature in Yan Xiaoer's house was more than 20 degrees a few days ago. Today, the turtle at home is hibernating below 10 degrees. According to last year's experience, I will probably sleep until next spring. In other words, the tortoise can not eat for a long time.

We look back at the extinction of species during the dinosaur period. Some creatures disappeared in the great extinction. In addition to the disappearance of habitats, some creatures eventually starved to death, although they adapted to the environment. Animals that can't eat for a long time often face the dilemma of mass extinction and can survive better. Such as cockroaches and turtles.

Therefore, Yan Xiaoer analyzed that turtles can't eat for a long time, which is also the main reason why it has continued from the dinosaur period to the present.

3. Survival of the fittest. The laws of nature tend to be "survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest". Whether you can survive depends more on the adaptability of organisms to the surrounding environment and their "survival skills" in harsh environments. The characteristics of some creatures make them adaptable, such as sea turtles.

In the face of "natural disasters", the turtle's super adaptability and long-term non-eating characteristics make it a leader under the natural law of "survival of the fittest".
