Turtles and Tortoises

Male tortoises are called "tortoises" or "torts," while female tortoises are referred to as "tortoises" or "tortoises" as well. The distinction between male and female tortoises is not typically made based on specific names, as with some other animals. Instead, they are generally identified by their physical characteristics and behaviors.

The word "tortoise" is pronounced as "TOR-tiss." The emphasis is on the first syllable, which is pronounced with a short "o" sound. The second syllable is pronounced with a short "i" sound. The "s" at the end is pronounced as a soft "s" sound.

Only cardigans, the turtle neck prevents any other kind. No, it may harm the turtle. I dont really think that a turtle wearing a sweater would be very comfortable in the sweater. Its better to have a healthy sweater than a dead one!!!

Spinach is not inherently bad for turtles, but it should be fed in moderation. It contains oxalates, which can bind with calcium and potentially lead to health issues if consumed in large amounts over time. A varied diet that includes other leafy greens, vegetables, and appropriate protein sources is recommended for optimal turtle health. Always consult with a veterinarian for specific dietary advice for your turtle.

In the story "The Tortoise and the Hare," the turtle (or tortoise) made a bet with the hare that he could win a race against him. The hare, confident in his speed, accepted the bet, believing it would be an easy victory. The race ultimately taught the lesson that slow and steady wins the race, as the tortoise's perseverance led him to victory while the hare became overconfident and took a nap.

If someone is likened to a turtle, it may imply that they are moving slowly or cautiously in their actions or decisions. Turtles are also known for being resilient and strong, so this comparison could suggest that the man is determined and able to overcome obstacles.

As there are over six hundred species of turtles ranging in size from 4 inches to 7 feet long, there are many different sizes of hearts for turtles.

Male turtles typically have a retractable penis, called a cloaca, that varies in length among different species. The penis can extend anywhere from a few millimeters to a few centimeters in length.

There are no poisoness turtles. They have no way to inject venom. The only thing you have to be careful for is salmonella poisoning that some turtles can carry, but that is true of a lot of reptiles.

No. They do not undergo any stage of metamorphosis at all. Once they hatch from their eggs, they remain as the same form for the rest of their life. They grow quite a bit, but they do not "morph", or transform, the way caterpillars turn into butterflies.

The turtle is a repgile, and all reptiles belong to the taxonomic domain of Eukarya.Eukarya covers all organisms in the Kingdom Animalia, as well as the Kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Protista.

A turtles claws arenormally in the back because they dig with there back legs and it is easier for them to dig with there back legs, like a dog. I have a turtle myself and have seen it use its claws before they are more like toes or fingers than claws. I could be mistaken because these are just my observations.

No. All modern chelons (turtles and tortoises) are toothless.
No, turtles and tortoises lost their teeth quite long ago, when they were coexisting with dinosaurs.

The envelope that Turtle saw in the Westing house said, "The Westing Game. Pair up, and be rich." It was the start of the mystery game created by Sam Westing for the heirs of his estate.

It is difficult to provide an exact number, but worldwide, thousands of turtles are abused or exploited each day through illegal trade, pet ownership, habitat destruction, and bycatch in fishing activities. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these vulnerable species from further harm.

Pawikan is not an oversized turtle, but rather a type of sea turtle found in the Philippines. They are known for their large size, with some species growing up to several feet in length. The term "Pawikan" is used specifically to refer to sea turtles in the Philippines.

This order includes all turtles and tortoises. It is divided into three suborders: Pleurodira (side-necked turtles), Cryptodira (freshwater turtles, snapping turtles, tortoises, soft-shelled turtles, and sea turtles), and Amphichelydia (a suborder of turtles that is now extinct).

it snaps its jaw

-------------------------

Unlike snapping turtles, desert tortoises cannot snap their jaws. Since they are completely herbivorous they have no need for fast moving jaws. The only reason some turtles can snap, is because they need to be able to catch fast moving objects, such as insects. However since desert tortoises eat nothing but plants, they have no need to move quickly(because the plants aren't going anywhere).

Now, their number one defensive mechanism is their shell. When they feel threatened, they pull inside covering the openings with their heavily armored limbs. The shell also acts as camoflauge. Say a predator is flying over head and looks down upon the desert tortoise. All it is going to see is a large rock-like object, that looks nothing like food.

However other than the shell, the tortoise has little other defenses. This is mainly due to the fact that few predators have adaptations to get through this first line of defense. So it doesn't need any others.

The Little Turtle was a chief of the Miami Nation. He successfully led his people in battles against American forces in the Northwest Indian War.

Loggerheads are important because they control the population of molluscs, crustaceans, fish, jellyfish, crabs, shrimp and Portuguese Man o' War and other small to medium-sized marine animals by eating them.
