We've kept little turtles almost all of them. But many friends do not know that turtles actually have three categories: water turtles, semi-water turtles, and tortoises. Like the Brazilian turtle we usually see, the grass turtle. It is the most common water turtle.

And our protagonist today is known as the king of tortoises - Angeloka tortoises. The world's top ten endangered animals are more precious than giant pandas! There are less than 400 wild animals in the world! The total number of live players in the world and the zoo does not exceed 6,000. And most of them are small turtles. The number of adults is very small.

The Angeloka tortoise, also known as the stiff-breasted tortoise, can be seen that the breastplate of the adult turtle protrudes a large piece, like a warrior.
They can only be found in a small area of the African island of Madagascar and are currently under strict conservation. There are a small number of players in China. I understand that at present, on the domestic black market, the body length of 1CM is worth 10,000 yuan. The smallest turtles are about 5cm, and each one is at least 50,000. Adults are 50W or more. Just because The black market value of Angeloka is very high. Many illegal traders poached this turtle by any means. As a result, the number of people in the wild today is very small.
In the end, there is no harm in not buying and selling. Such a beautiful creature, let it stay in nature, live freely!
