Is soft-shelled turtle a fish Soft-shelled turtle is a kind of reptile, it also has many other names, such as "soft-shelled turtle", "round fish", "water fish" and so on. They are mainly distributed in lakes, ponds and other reservoirs, and are more distributed in places where the flow is relatively slow. They like to be quiet and are easily frightened; They like the sun, but they don't like the wind.
Although soft-shelled turtles are named after "fish", they are actually not fish at all, but a kind of reptile. Reptiles and fish are two completely different creatures, there is no intersection between the two, so we can not confuse the two. Fish use their fins to swim and their gills to breathe. But the turtle has neither fins nor gills, so it is obviously not a fish.
Turtle is a reptile, there are some habits and characteristics are more special. For example, turtles hibernate during the winter. Generally speaking, the time of their hibernation will begin around November, and the time of hibernation will end in the spring of the next year, specifically, there will be regional differences, the south and the north are different. Wild turtles may bury their heads in the sand during hibernation, and they prefer to hibernate in the sand.
In addition, turtles can also be raised artificially. At this time, before the turtle enters the state of hibernation, it is better to feed them enough feed, and then let them enter the state of hibernation. Moreover, when the turtle is in hibernation, special attention should be paid to the water temperature, not too low, otherwise it will threaten the health of the turtle.
