What is peculiarities of tortoise
Answers
Answer:
Tortoises are land turtles that live in a variety of habitats, ranging from deserts to rain forests, in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Madagascar and islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Their diet mainly consists of grasses, fruits, flowers and other vegetation, although some species also eat carrion. The average lifespan varies by species, with gopher tortoises living over 40 years and giant tortoises living to be over 100 years old.
Answer:
Tortoises are unique among vertebrates in that the pectoral and pelvic girdles are inside the rib cage rather than outside. Tortoises can vary in dimension from a few centimeters to two meters. They are usually diurnal animals with tendencies to be crepuscular depending on the ambient temperatures. They are generally reclusive animals. Tortoises are the longest living land animal in the world, although the longest living species of tortoise is a matter of debate. Galápagos tortoises are noted to live over 150 years, but an Aldabra giant tortoise named Adwaita may have been the longest living at an estimated 255 years. In general, most tortoise species can live 80–150 years.
