In biology, man's scientific name is "Homo sapiens." When it comes to scientific arrangement, every creature will have a scientific name of its own kind. This makes it very professional, and we don't need to be so serious in our lives, so many times when we call a species, we don't call it by its scientific name. Our names are very good at distinguishing between us, and we know who we are talking about when we call us.
Then in fact, turtles are the same, and different species also have different scientific names to show the distinction. Of course, in addition to our serious scientific names, we also have a lot of nicknames and folk names. For the veterans of the turtle world, it is certain that no matter what name they hear, they can quickly know what turtle it is. If you are not familiar with it, it is easy to correct and wrong numbers, confuse concepts with names, and feel so confused.
The turtle is a generic name, and we know that the serious turtle actually came because of the ink turtle, which refers to the grass turtle. But in fact, the turtle we say in our lives refers to a variety of turtles. Therefore, the turtle friends who understand it should not be too real, know that it is a general reference, and do not have to say that it is a grass turtle. Life does not need to be so serious, then if you communicate with turtle friends who have entered the pit, there will naturally be more technical terms, and you can understand it without explanation.
Pearl turtle, Taiwan grass turtle, these refer to the Chinese flower turtle, I believe that many turtle friends must be no strangers.
Yellow-throated water turtle, which is actually a general term for "a type of turtle", and the yellow-throated species we are divided into southern and northern species. Among them, Daqingtou, also known as Daqing, belongs to a kind of yellow throat in Taiwan and Fujian. Because its head is relatively large and gray-blue, its back armor is also darker; small green head, also known as Xiaoqing, is mainly in Anhui, Jiangsu and Hunan and other regions. Its head is small and blue, and its dorsal carapace is lighter and yellower in color. Xiaoqing and Daqing are both northern species of yellow-throated water turtles. The southern species of yellow throat, as we all often hear, is the southern stone turtle, also known as the stone money turtle. Mainly distributed in Liangguang and Vietnam, it has always been a well-known turtle, and in the past few years it was still a star turtle, but now the bubble has burst. For the southern stone, there are actually many flowers: the southern stone, the stone turtle, the stone money.
Three yellow turtles: Now turtle friends will be yellow-throated water turtles, head, abdominal carapace, dorsal carapace and limbs of the skin color of the yellow throat called: three yellow, generally meet this condition only Xiaoqing, so there is this name is also referred to as Xiaoqing.
In contrast, the yellow edge is much like the yellow throat. We often see business introductions, what: continental edge, Taiwan edge, An edge, etc., many turtle friends will be confused. I think that the yellow edge is the yellow edge, and the other edges are different, or I think that the yellow edge refers to the An edge. In fact, the yellow edge is only its scientific name, whether it is an edge, a taiwan edge or a continental edge or something, it is a yellow edge closed shell turtle, and the yellow edge is their collective name. The Anyuan and Taiyuan are only called because of different regions, and the yellow edges of different regions are also different in appearance, so the titles just include the region and distinguish the phases. In addition, the yellow edge is also called the snake turtle and the broken plate turtle, but this name is relatively rare among enthusiasts.
The Marta turtle, also known as the dead leaf turtle, after all, looks very similar to the dead leaf.
The yellow-headed side-necked turtle, the most affectionately known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or now popular: eat turtles, clear dung turtles. Haha, but Xiaobian personally do not like this name, there is no animal specifically eat does not defecate, even if the feces of other animals as food, they also have to excrete, or will pollute the water body, so what clearing the cylinder artifact This role does not want to think too much Oh.
The three-lined closed-shell turtle, also known as the money turtle, means the return of money. Many turtle friends who have just entered the pit will think that stone money is a money turtle, wondering why it is so cheap that you still say expensive? Haha, figure out their names, oh, otherwise it's easy to make jokes.
Pig-nosed turtle: Also known as the flying river turtle, two-clawed turtle, this must not be often heard of.
Saw-edged turtle, now called saw-edge closed shell turtle, usually we will affectionately call it: saw.
The Brazilian tortoise, the Brazilian tortoise we call it is not actually a Brazilian species, the scientific name is: Mississippi Red-eared Turtle, but we all call it: Ba Shen! There are also turtle friends who call them mahjong turtles and kingfishers, but they are also relatively rare.
In fact, many turtle species do not call their scientific names directly, or call them in appearance, such as flame turtles and donuts.
What turtle species that are not commonly used in scientific names, but also rely on everyone to supplement, Xiaobian did not expect it for a while.
