"Wang Bao, turtle, soft-shelled turtle and turtle" which seems to be four animals, but in fact there are only two kinds of animals, which "Wang Bao" and "turtle" are turtle's common name, and the turtle is different from the soft-shelled turtle. Turtle is different from turtle. Here we will briefly explain why the turtle has so many names? and how it differs from the turtle.

First of all, let's take a look at the turtle with many names

The turtle belongs to the family of Tortoises, and in our country, the turtle has a lot of common names, such as "king oyster", "turtle", "mud turtle", etc. Among them, "king oyster" and "turtle" are the most common names. Among them, the turtle and turtle are the most common names. So, why is the turtle called the king's eight? This name actually has to start from the ancient times of our country.

Plus the fact that the turtle as a member of the turtle order Tetrapodidae, which has more than 20 different species around the world, and the Chinese soft-shelled turtle as China's most common turtle, it is almost all over China's freshwater waters (except Tibet, Xinjiang region), so the most common soft-shelled turtle instead of the turtle is called "Wangbaji".

The most common turtle is called "wangba" instead of turtle.

As for the turtle, the name is quite understandable. The turtle is a freshwater creature that often swims around like a fish and has a hard shell on its back, hence the name "turtle".

Morphology

While turtles and tortoises are both short-limbed creatures with shells on their backs, their morphology is quite different. First of all, the difference between the two "shells", the turtle's shell is very hard, and there is a clear tortoise pattern on it, while the turtle's shell is softer, and there is no obvious pattern on it. Secondly, the turtle's limbs and head can be retracted into the shell, so relying on the hard shell, they can protect themselves well in case of danger. Unlike the turtle, its head and limbs cannot be completely retracted into the shell. Finally, the turtle's head is more rounded, while the turtle's head is more elongated.

Habitat

All turtles are freshwater animals, unlike tortoises, which live in freshwater and some in seawater. Secondly, most of the turtles can walk on land for a long time, and even in the water, they are most of the underwater, while the turtle is different, they in addition to laying eggs, most of them stay in the water, even if it is out of the water to sunbathe, it is also in the water to find a protruding place, and when in the water, the turtle mostly like to stay in the mud and sand to wrap themselves up.

Turtle

Turtle is the common name for soft-shelled aquatic turtles in the family Turtleidae, also known as the group of fish, fish, etc., some places in the south called the pool fish, fish, and so on. Snapping turtle's head like a turtle, but the back of the armor is not turtle-like stripes, the edge of the soft skirt, the shell is softer than the turtle. Oval shape, more flat than the turtle, dorsal and abdominal armor bearing a soft outer membrane, surrounded by a delicate skirt, head, neck and limbs can be retracted, the limbs were born five claws. From the shape of the color observation, the turtle usually dorsal spine and limbs are dark green, some back light brown, reddish-white ventral surface.

And their genera are also different, turtle belongs to the turtle class, the tortoise belongs to the turtle class, we have heard of the shrunken head tortoise, the tortoise's most typical feature is that when they are in danger, the limbs and the head can be shrunk to the inside of the shell to protect, the turtle how to do not have this feature, but when we are catching the turtle, must be careful, this kind of animal temperament, suffered an attack, it will bite the target, it is very difficult to catch, it will be very difficult to bite the target, it will be difficult to bite the target. It will bite the target, it is difficult to let go, some people are turtle bite, how to tug and can not tug down, the tortoise just like his name, the courage is very small, what is the wind, the old head shrinks, therefore, the temperament is also mild some.

The Chinese grass turtle, the authentic turtle.

Turtles and turtles are collectively known as the order Tortoises, hard-shelled called turtles, soft-shelled called soft-shelled turtles (there are also soft-shelled turtles called turtles, which is more confusing), it is very good to distinguish. Turtles have a hard back armor, the back armor has a variety of lines. They can be categorized into land, sea, and freshwater turtles according to the environment in which they live, and many species are kept as pets, such as the cheap and ubiquitous Brazilian turtle.

Through the introduction of the above it is not difficult to see the difference between the tortoise, turtle, turtle, turtle, in fact, to summarize is that the turtle is the turtle and turtle, and turtle is the common name of the turtle. As for the turtle and turtle words there are three differences, one of the turtle's bite is stronger than most of the turtle, the second turtle's shell edge has a meat skirt, while the turtle does not, and the third turtle can shrink the whole body, while the turtle can not do.
