is the Brazilian tortoise? The Brazilian tortoise belongs to the aquatic tortoise, generally lives in the water, but all lives in the shallow water. Today's Brazilian tortoises are generally amphibious, but they can't be short of water for a long time. The Brazilian tortoise is a subspecies of the Brazilian painted tortoise, also known as the Brazilian red-eared tortoise because it has two red stripes on its head that look like ears. Brazilian tortoises have strong survival ability, belong to omnivorous animals, are not picky about food, water temperature and water quality, are very easy to breed, and the color is more beautiful, so they are raised as ornamental tortoises in China.
? Brazilian tortoises are recognized as ecological killers in the world. Because their adaptability is very strong, and their ability to reproduce is also very strong, and their ability to resist diseases is also very strong. So once they are released into the wild, they will compete with the native tortoises for food and resources, and the tortoises produced in China generally can't compete with them. In addition, they had natural enemies in North America before, but they have no natural enemies in China and other countries, so they can cause serious damage to the native ecological environment. Now many countries, including China, have listed it as an invasive alien species, so the Brazilian tortoise can not be released.
