Hello everyone, I am looking for the source of things, I sent you!
Often seen on the Internet which country's native tortoises and other news, Ah Wu is not only very envious of the turtle friends born in those areas can go to the wild to observe their living habits at will, netizens can't help but ask when they see here, is there no native tortoise in China? Of course, the answer is yes, the world's third largest country in terms of land area, how can there be no!
There are three species of tortoises native to China, four-clawed tortoises, and Burmese tortoises.
Unicorn tortoise is also known as concave tortoise, mountain turtle, why is it called concave tortoise, careful observation of the nail piece can be seen, the general tortoise carapace is the middle of the outward four sides of the phase in, and the concave tortoise carapace is the middle to the inside of the four sides of the expansion of the opposite, so you get the name concave turtle.
Concave tortoises are mainly distributed in Hainan, Yunnan, Hunan and Guangxi in China, and live in tropical and subtropical high-altitude areas. Usually feeds mainly on bamboo shoots, weeds, and wild fruits. It belongs to the national second-level protected animal.
Seeing here the small partner may be moved, but Ah Wu advises that it is best not to raise concave tortoises, and the only reason is to die violently!
Concave-shelled tortoises are basically unable to survive if they want to keep them as pets. It belongs to the plateau turtle, in the plain area to raise basically one dead one, support the death of the special physical fitness can be raised for a year and a half, but generally do not live for 3 years.
The heart of the concave tortoise is particularly hypertrophied, suitable for the blood supply in the hypoxic environment of the plateau, to the plains, the heart is a burden, all kinds of heart diseases will be properly walked through, so the concave tortoise in the low altitude area can hardly survive, there is no corresponding breeding and breeding base.
Don't believe the sellers in the market, "Oh I'm bring this by myself, it's definitely no problem, you buy it back and raise it to know" When you buy it back, you will definitely say that you will not raise anything if you don't have a good hand! 100% of the concave nails on the market are captured in the wild.
The concave tortoise natively lies in the high altitude area above 3000 meters above sea level, and the long-term plateau life has led to the turtle heart adapting to the local plateau area, and the heart beats with low frequency and high output to maintain the blood supply required for the high altitude and low pressure environment.
After scientific dissection, it was found that the heart myocardial tissue of the concave tortoise is much fatter than other tortoises, the water turtle, and the hypertrophic myocardial tissue is the proof of environmental adaptation at high altitude, but the concave tortoise once to the low altitude area, due to the turtle's cardiac contraction and /or diastolic function has adapted to the high output of the plateau high altitude, to the low altitude area, the high output of the heart, the increase in the pressure of the heart, in a short period of time due to the cardiac adaptability.
Most concave tortoises can survive for a short time, but over time, the effects of hypertrophic heart and hypertension will cause many concave tortoises to become hypertrophied at low altitudes, atrial hypertrophy, time pump failure, resulting in insufficient cardiac output to maintain tissue metabolism, decreased blood perfusion of tissues and congestion of the pulmonary circulation or system circulatory vein system It is a clinical syndrome. Began to appear digestive function confusion, non-digestion refusal and other symptoms, but this time the turtle is still frequently active, from the hemodynamic point of view, due to myocardial contractile dysfunction, so that the heart pressure is higher than the normal pump failure in the early stage is often accompanied by increased blood pressure, and increased blood pressure, peripheral resistance will aggravate pump failure, the general individual concave tortoise in the heart changes to failure, the time is about one to two years, so most of the deaths of concave tortoises are one year to two years after going down the mountain.
Only a very small number of individuals, the concave tortoises that were born in the low-altitude mountain canyons, can adapt to the environment after descending the mountain, or some high-altitude areas such as Sichuan can breed concave tortoises successfully, but the probability of buying such turtles is really the same probability as winning the lottery!
