Turtles and Tortoises

Yes, sea turtles do give birth. Female sea turtles return to the same beaches where they were born to lay their eggs in nests they dig in the sand. After a few weeks, the hatchlings make their way back to the ocean.

A tortoise certainly can because I have seen my neighbours tortoise do this (a little way) when eating a tomato. Regarding turtles, although I have hand fed a wild turtle while diving in the ocean, I have not seen a turtle do this - (However, this does not mean that they can't).

A turtle's heart typically has three chambers: two atria and one ventricle. This is a unique feature compared to mammals, which have a four-chambered heart. This adaptation allows for some mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood within the ventricle.

Turtles can be allergic to certain foods like strawberries, dairy products, or nuts. They can also have reactions to chemicals in their environment such as cleaning products or pesticides. It's important to consult with a veterinarian if you suspect your turtle may have allergies.

Yes, yellow-spotted river turtles have small, cone-shaped teeth on their upper and lower jaws. These teeth help them grip and tear their food, which mainly consists of aquatic plants, fruits, and insects.

Yes. Yes. Yes. If the turtle is in a tank. Any tank, any size, you need a filter. Turtles are dirty and the only time you don't need a filter is if the turtle is in a LARGE pond and even then if there is more than one turtle I'd probably still have a filter.

Some turtles swim because of the way they anatomy is set up. Tortises can't swim because they have non-webbed feet and their shell is too heavy for them to swim safely. Turtles swim because they have a lighter shell which is easier to swim with the help of their webbed feet

Yes, it is possible to milk a squirrel.

However, make sure that the squirrel is a female, because male squirrel milk is highly poisonous.

Place it under high heat in order to relax the squirrel. A good recommendation would be a microwave. After that, make sure that the squirrel is unconscious and then proceed to milk it.

Good Luck!

Well ... according to the Urban dictionay:

(adj) The term "awkward turtle" was created in Bronxville, NY and spread quickly all around Westchester, and probably exists in different areas around the United States.Awkward Turtle refers to a turtle on it's back, a situation most commonly known to turtles as awkward, thus, awkward turtle. There is also a hand motion for the "awkward turtle...that being the right hand over the left hand with palms facing up, with your pinky and thumb fingers moving about, as if the turtle was trying to get up..

different reptiles have different defences.for example,the tiger salamander secretes the samonella virus out of its back.many lizards can constrict the bloodvessels in their tails and release a section of it without bleeding.some lizards can change colour in order to blend in with their surroundings.some lizards can puff-up a flap of skin under their chins(dewlap)in order to make them appear larger.the basilisk lizard cad run on water to escape.lizards also bite!in the end,it seems that their best and most used defense is being sensitive to movement and running in the other direction.

Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda was a Galápagos tortoise.

Giant turtles can weigh anywhere from 500 pounds to over 2,000 pounds, depending on the species.

One score is equal to 20 years, so the average life span of a tortoise, 200 years, is equivalent to 10 scores.

Yes, you can have a pet turtle in Tasmania, but you'll need to comply with specific regulations. Most turtles are protected under Tasmania's Nature Conservation Act 2002, so you may need a permit to keep one as a pet. Make sure to check with local authorities for the most up-to-date information on keeping turtles as pets in Tasmania.

Yes, turtles use energy for various activities such as swimming, hunting for food, mating, and maintaining body temperature. They obtain energy by consuming a diet of plants and small animals. Turtles also conserve energy by being ectothermic, which means they rely on external sources like sunlight to regulate their body temperature.

No. Turtles lay eggs. Only mammals have a placenta.

For any creature to be able to breathe, there has to be something to breathe.

Space is vacuum, an empty nothing. No creature can get anything from nothing.

So no, a turtle wouldn't be able to breathe in space.

Unless you provide it with an atmosphere, like in a space station, space ship or a space suit.

Then a turtle most likely would breathe just fine.

In the game "Toss the Turtle," there is no secret button. The objective is to launch the turtle as far as possible using a combination of power-ups and aiming. Success in the game relies on timing, aim, and strategy rather than a hidden button.

If one turtle begins biting at another turtle's neck, I'm almost positive it means it is getting ready to mate and its letting the other turtle know its only matter of time before they do mate.

I would advise you to keep them separated for at least 3 months, until the mating season is over. Unless you do want baby turtles. it is totally natural.

Yes, you do need a business license.

Those who do not have a license are running a great legal risk.

At minimum you need public liability insurance, business license (or ABN here in Australia) and have pet first aid and CPR knowledge.

Yes, turtles can feel when you touch their shell. The shell is connected to their nervous system, so they can sense pressure and movement on their shell. However, their shell is covered in keratin, which is a tough material that provides protection, so they may not feel the touch as keenly as they would on their skin.
