My tortoises
I got my tortoise in present, when I was 10 years. Her name is Nenja. The tortoise is wonderful animal. Despite on assertion of some scientifics that tortoise is a very slow reptiles, Nenja is a very rapid and quick animal. Scientifics of Russian proved that she can goes only five metres for one minutes.
All tortoises attributes to detachment reptiles. They have a bony shell, which grow together with vertebras and ribs. But only a leathery tortoise have not that. Some of scientifics numbers about 250 (two hundred fifteen) surfaces (and also elephantine) and sea animals. But other scientifics numbers about 40 (fourteen) specieses on our planet.
Almost all live in hot places of our earthly sphere, for example: in steppes and wildernesses, in fresh reservoirs and seas. Eggs are laid on the earth. Meat and eggs some of species are taken in food. Tortoises like sea turtles, but live on the earth.
22 (twenty-two) species of tortoises put down in the Rad book of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1989 (nineteen eightynine). The first reptiles are coolness spinal column animals. Them skin is got covered by scales or by a solid skin as about tortoises and about crocodile. A skin is defended for a dehydration.
They appeared together with an appearance of the first insects and with developing of different forms Amphibia. They appeared in the Carboniferous period. And tortoises and turtles showed up In that time began grew wood fern and about 360 – 280 millions years old. other plants.
In the Carboniferous period the climate is becoming dryer and colder, showing up coniferous plats and different forms of reptiles. Amphibia are becoming desolate gradually on our earthy sphere. All reptiles became surface animals. The been tortoises are living on Galapagos Isls in Indian Ocean. They are very long (1, 8 meters long) and heavy (225 pounds heavy). Some big tortoises can living behind 150 years (one hundred fifteen).
