How much do you know about tortoiseshells?
Hawksbill turtle, ancient name turtle, Wenjia, because there are thirteen pieces of scales on the back such as shield-shaped, divided into three rows to do tile-like arrangement, so the hawksbill turtle is also called "thirteen scales", "longevity turtle", is a turtle family hawksbill turtle animal, one of the oldest reptiles, belongs to the national first-class key protected wild animals. In ancient mythology, the tortoiseshell, also known as "Xuanwu", is one of the four sacred beasts in China. Since ancient times, tortoiseshell has been regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness, endowed with the beautiful meaning of "auspicious longevity, warding off evil spirits".
Hawksbill turtles have a long lifespan and slow growth, and although the reproduction rate is relatively high, the survival rate of juvenile turtles is quite low. For a long time, due to the overexploitation of the beaches where hawksbill turtles lay eggs and nest, the populations of both juveniles and adults in major marine areas have been greatly reduced.
Historically, hawksbill turtles have been hunted on a large scale, and combined with human destruction of their habitats, their populations have declined dramatically. In the 90s of the last century, the hawksbill turtle was listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and in the mainland's latest 2021 Wildlife Protection Law, it has been upgraded to a national first-class key protected wild animal.
The hawksbill turtle is widely distributed and is found in almost all sea areas in the middle and low latitudes of the world. On the mainland, hawksbill turtles are found in the waters from Shandong in the north to Nanhai Zhudao in the south, and their main living areas are shallow lagoons and coral reefs.
