Turtles

Turtles and tortoises are a remarkable group of animals for various reasons, unfortunately it’s the most endangered group of vertebrate animals and many species face extinction. Due to this fact is always ways to carefully consider which species you want to own and if so that they’re bought through reliable channels.

These animals are also anatomically very unique, they all have a specialized ribcage that has grown inside out to form its back shield, called the carapax. On the underside they also have a protective bony plate called the plastron. The carapax holds all the organs in place and gives the animal protection.

River turtles are mostly kept in captivity, but different types of tortoises are available. Most river turtles need a lot of space and are mostly predators, which make them harder to care for, than most tortoise species. The tortoise group are mainly herbivores.
