Chinese grass turtle is a water turtle, which is a species between water turtle and semi-water turtle. Wild grass turtles live in shallow water areas such as streams, rivers, lakes and swamps. Although you can move on land and prefer to bask in the sun, you can't leave the water for a long time, otherwise your life will be in danger. When breeding grass turtles, an amphibious environment can be built for them, so that they can choose their own range of activities.

1. Different living environments: The obvious difference between tortoises and water turtles is the different living environments. Water turtles live in water all the year round. Although they can move on land, they cannot leave water for a long time. Tortoises all live on land, and their water quality is poor, so they can't move in deep water.

2. Different food: Because tortoises live on land and move slowly, they can prey on very little meat, so most tortoises are vegetarian. Water turtles mainly live in water, and they prey on some small fish, shrimps and other foods, so most water turtles are carnivorous.

3, different shapes: tortoises have thick limbs, and most of them have scales on their body surface, and there is no webbing between their toes. The limbs of water turtles are relatively small, although they also have scales, but the scales are relatively soft, and there are abundant webbed between the toes of water turtles.
