Driving the car, Qin Yan conducted research on wild animals in the reserve, checking the living conditions of wild animals, of course, it can also be understood as a pickled girl, because Irina was sitting next to him.

Suddenly, the off-road vehicle didn't know what it encountered, and the front wheels flew up, startling Qin Yan, and thinking that it would roll over, so frightened that he slammed the steering wheel, and finally stopped.

Irina turned pale with fright, jumped out of the car and shouted in surprise, "Second uncle, look, it's a turtle." ”

Qin Yan didn't know why, only after getting out of the car did he know what was happening, it turned out that what he had just hit was not a stone or something, but a huge turtle.

Turtles, people have seen them, for example, the most common Brazilian turtles and grass turtles, which are sold in the market and aquarium stores, and the largest one is not small, and it is more of the kind of little guy who has just hatched not long ago, and the shell is still soft, which is very cute.

And the turtle he bumped into was different, it was very big, even if you just looked at the turtle shell, it was more than 80 centimeters, it could be called a behemoth, the turtle was hit like this, and it was also startled, and it shrank tightly in the turtle shell, and did not move.

After seeing no movement for a long time, he stuck out his head and looked out with his probe, trying to find out who hit it and compare it with a shell. It's really impatient to live, I don't know if its ancestor is Xuanwu.

It has large symmetrical scales on the top of its head, brown on its head and limbs, and thick scales on its forelegs, like dragon scales.

With such a large size, it is easy to identify, Qin Yan recognized it at a glance as the Sucata tortoise, and it is also the third continent tortoise in the world.

It is so large that it can even hold up a child, and it is also the easiest and largest tortoise to keep in people's lives.

Because the world's largest tortoise is the Galapagos tortoise, "Lonely George" is the Galapagos tortoise subspecies.

It's just that the number of this turtle is very small, and a Galapagos tortoise on the market that was not born long ago can easily sell for hundreds of thousands, and it has no price, a world-class protected species, and it is guaranteed that you will go to eat a public meal if you catch it.

And the second continent tortoise, the Aldabra tortoise, is also about the same, each cub can easily be sold for tens of thousands, who can afford it.

Moreover, the average length of Yada is 90~120 cm, and the weight can reach 200 kg. The limit record, the male large individual reached 250 kilograms, and even had a record of 360 kilograms, that is, 720 kilograms!

It looks big, but ...... If you feel that this is already limiting your imagination...... Then you are wrong.

It is very common for wild Gala males to exceed 300 kg, and almost all subspecies can reach 272 to 317 kg, with a dorsal carapace length of 1.5 meters... There are even wild records of 1.87 meters, more than 900 catties, close to half a ton of weight, feel it yourself.

Such a big guy also needs to have an activity venue, and it must be heated in winter, who can afford it.

Only Sucata can grow to eighty or ninety centimeters, although the size is still very large, but it is still within the acceptable range of people, not to mention that Sucata's little cubs are only four or five centimeters when they are born, as long as they are kept in an incubator, they can be fed.

Sucata is also a good breed of tortoise, it can grow an average of one centimeter a month, compared to the usual turtles do not grow much in a year, the growth can be seen and fast, can make people enjoy the fun of pet growth.

Speaking of tortoises, there is actually a very embarrassing joke, two years ago, someone released the animals, of course, to release them in a place suitable for the survival of animals.

At that time, people didn't understand anything, and turtles, except for our common Brazilian turtles, grass turtles, and some other freshwater turtles, were all considered sea turtles.

Once, volunteers and caring people released many small fish and shrimp "little turtles" into the sea, and followed the fish and shrimp into the sea one by one, what a warm and touching scene.

However, there was a turtle among them, who was reluctant to give up on humans, and desperately clung to the deck, insisting on staying on the ship, unable to live or die.

In the end, there was no way, and the "little turtle" was thrown into the South China Sea by the staff. This scene was filmed by media reporters and warmly published in the newspaper.

Then this heartwarming scene was pointed out, the baby turtle in the photo who is "reluctant" to humans, has four pillar-like legs, this is a tortoise, it lives from the land, and its hometown is even in the desert area.

Oh, the tortoise enters the water, and there is no second option but death. Of course, this is far from it, and what appeared in front of them was a sulcata tortoise, and it was an adult one, and it could weigh about two hundred pounds.

Seeing that it was okay, he swayed his body and wanted to leave, Sucata walked very interestingly, not like an ordinary turtle, so slow, but very fast.

We have all heard of tortoises and hare races, tortoises walk very slowly, and it is only with perseverance and perseverance that they win the race, but the tortoise is different, it runs, and its four legs are like pillars, which can support its body and run quickly.

This is why the Sulcata tortoise is called the Sulcata tortoise, and its legs are so thick that they resemble those of an elephant.

"Wow, what a cute little turtle. ”

Irina's eyes lit up, and she walked over quickly, and when she sat on top of it, Suqkada's body sank slightly, but she still trembled and walked forward.

Qin Yan looked at it, such a big lump, you are sure it is a little turtle, it can move you.

Within two steps, Sucata's speed slowed down, and finally stopped, lying on the ground, his head and limbs retracted into the turtle's shell, motionless. After all, it's just a turtle, and Irina is too big for its weight, and if it's a child, it can still play with it, but Irina, it's a little powerless.

Irina stretched out her hand like a lady, her wrist hanging slightly, revealing her white little arms, and motioned to take her down.

Qin Yan stretched out his hand to hold it and let Irina jump off Suqada. She jumped down laughing and laughed so happily. "Second uncle, try it, this turtle is so funny. ”

Qin Yan didn't pay attention to it, his mind had already been placed between the two of them's clasped hands, so soft, slippery and warm.

Looking down, it is worthy of being the third largest tortoise in the world, Sucata was pressed by the front of the car, and pressed over its back, Sucata was not injured and is still alive and well.

However, Qin Yan could feel it, it was very frightened in its heart, first it was crushed by an off-road vehicle dozens of times larger than it, and then it was surrounded by two two-legged trolls, and it couldn't escape if it wanted to, and it was already scared to death.

Qin Yan released the nourishment technique to calm the panic in its heart.

After a while, Sucata relaxed, poked his head out, glanced at the two of them, and took heavy steps to leave.

Irina suddenly stopped it from the front, and said with a smile, "Second uncle, you see how pitiful it is, it is lonely in the wild alone, and it has not eaten this meal, otherwise we will take it back and raise it." ”

"Do you want to ride on it again?"

Qin Yan still doesn't know when she has such a good heart.

"You can't hide everything from the second uncle, you can't do it in the end. Irina took his hand and said coquettishly.

Being begged by the beautiful girl like this, Qin Yan couldn't refuse, so he said, "Okay, I'll take it back." ”

Anyway, it's not a big deal, and if you can really raise such a tortoise, it will be very face-saving to be seen by others, and a few people have seen such a big tortoise, let alone feed it. You can call yourself "Turtle Immortal".
