Among turtles, there are about 250 species of turtles in existence, and many species of turtles will shrink their heads, limbs, tails, etc. into the shell to protect themselves when they encounter threats, but some species of turtles can no longer indent into the shell. Recently, in a mountain stream in Guangdong, there is a fisherman who found a sharp-billed turtle, the shape is very bright and bright, and the tortoise shell is biased towards golden yellow, a look at the identity of this turtle is not simple.
According to the introduction: this golden turtle moves in the stream, crawls slowly, and is quickly caught. This turtle has a peculiar appearance, with a sharp beak like an eagle's beak, sharp claws, a larger head, and a longer tail. After being caught, this turtle does not shrink into the shell to protect itself like other turtles, and it is also very fierce, actively attacking and trying to bite people.
After inquiring about the information, it was learned that the identity of this turtle is indeed not simple, more valuable than the general grass turtle, Brazilian turtle and other turtles, is a rare wild hawk-billed turtle, and the wild hawk-billed turtle has been included in the list of national second-level protected animals, prohibiting the capture of injuries, so the angler also consciously released this hawk-billed turtle in situ, let it climb back to the original roost of the mountain stream.
Among the turtle species, the hawk-billed turtle is also known as the large-headed flat-breasted turtle, the eagle turtle, etc., the reason why it is called the hawk-billed turtle is because the front part of the mouth of this turtle is like an eagle's beak, the upper and lower jaw hooks are very hard, the bite force is also very large, it is said to be able to bite off the barbed wire. The hawk-billed turtle is a carnivorous turtle that actively attacks prey, with snails, clams, shellfish, shrimp, fish, crabs, frogs and other food as its main food.
The hawk-billed turtle is a more peculiar turtle, the most obvious is that the head is relatively large, the mouth is like the beak of the eagle, and the hawk-billed turtle can not be retracted into the shell like other turtles to protect itself, because the head of the hawk-billed turtle is too large, so that its large head can not be retracted into the shell of the turtle, but also because the eagle-billed turtle's beak bite force is strong, generally will take the initiative to attack, rarely take the initiative to defend.
Eagle-billed turtle is also a kind of freshwater turtle, habitat is generally in the clear stream, there will also be swamps, waterholes, rivers and fields, etc., the eagle-billed turtle population is mainly distributed in China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries, mainly distributed in the southern waters, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi and so on. Due to the over-capture of people, coupled with changes in the water quality environment, the hawk-billed turtle in the wild has been extremely rare, and now the natural resources of the wild flat-breasted turtle are extremely scarce, and it is necessary to protect its habitat and breeding environment to ensure its natural proliferation!
