Normal turtles are all four-legged. If there are three-legged, five-legged turtles, they are either deformed by congenital mutation or physically disabled by acquired disability. Regardless of water turtles or tortoises, they are generally four-legged. Different species of turtles have different numbers of toes. For example, four-claw tortoises have only four toes, while some water turtles have five fingers on their forelimbs and four toes on their hind limbs.

Some shovel officials found that their little turtle would stretch one leg very long when sleeping. This weird posture is just like Ge You lying down. It feels comfortable, sometimes stretching its legs and sometimes retracting into its shell. This is the normal life habit of the turtle, so don't worry about whether it is lame or not.

Characteristics of turtles

First of all, turtles can live in water or on land. Generally, when the weather is hot in summer, most people live in water, and water can cool down well. If you keep a turtle at home, remember to change the water frequently in summer to keep the water clean.

Secondly, the tortoise grows very slowly. Compared with other animals, it grows rapidly in its infancy, and it takes two or three years for the tortoise to grow up. Of course, because of this, the tortoise's life span is relatively long.

In other words, the tortoise is a hibernating animal. Generally, hibernating animals have their own nests, and the tortoise itself carries a shell, so when hibernating, it will get into the shell and stay motionless. When hibernating, it is generally not in the water, but on the sand. Friends who keep turtles remember to fill more sand in winter to let the tortoise live.

Finally, the tortoise is an omnivore. It eats fish, shrimp and snails in the water, as well as plants, such as leaves and roots. It can also be mashed into meat at home.
