Brazilian tortoises refer to Brazilian red-eared tortoises. They are very lively, active and fresh-water tortoises. They are omnivorous animals and mainly feed on meat. They are wild tortoises in nature.
The Brazilian tortoise has the advantages of low price, simple feeding and tenacious vitality, but it is recognized as an ecological killer in the world, and has been listed as one of the most invasive 100 species by the world environmental protection organization, because it will cause incalculable damage to the natural environment, but it is harmless to people and can be kept as a pet.
Harm of Brazilian tortoise
The Brazilian tortoise is not poisonous, and it is a vegetarian. As a pet, there is no problem, but it can't be in nature because it will destroy the ecological environment. Brazilian tortoises grow very fast, have a high survival rate, and prey very fiercely. They have strong adaptability to the environment and good physical fitness, and are not easy to get sick.
If the Brazilian turtle is placed anywhere, it will compete with the local turtle for survival resources and grab food. The local turtle can't grab it at all, and the Brazilian turtle has basically no natural enemies in the wild, including small fish, shrimps and frogs, which will become its bag, which will be a catastrophe for the ecology.
Therefore, once the Brazilian tortoise is put into the natural environment, it will seriously threaten the survival of similar species, even bring an extinct blow to the survival of local species, and will also greatly destroy ecological resources.
