Herkese günaydın..
Güne başlarken çadırımın önüne park eden leonardoyu da uyandırmış bulunduk. Pençeleriyle kameraya el salladı.

⬇️English & 日本語⬇ Sami was having fun climbing on his plant. This plant is the mine survivor. He ate the others. I guess this one doesn’t taste good. サミちゃんは楽しそうに植物と遊んでいました。もうこの一つしか残っていません。サミちゃんが他の植物を食べました。まずいかな。 #イシガメ #ニホンイシガメ #ニホンイシガメと暮らす #ニホンイシガメベビー #イシガメベビー #小亀 #水亀 #亀 #カメ #turtle #nihonishigame #japanesepondturtle #babyturtle #turtlesofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnnr046yyYy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s World turtle day!
Here are some interesting facts about the status of sea turtles globally:
As we mark world turtle day here are some interesting facts about sea turtles:
There are only 7 species of sea turtles
6 of these species are classified as endangered with human actions being their largest threat.
These threats include(poaching,vessel collisions,habitat loss,pollution,bycatch)
All species are protected under the Endangered Species Act(ESA)
Together with marine mammals,they make up 38% of the listed endangered marine species
It is estimated that only 1 in 1000 hatchlings make it into adulthood (quite sad considering that their populations are declining globally)
The temperature of sand in nesting beaches affects the gender of sea turtles . The warmer the sand the higher the ratio of female turtles and vice versa.
Apart from increasing temperatures, the amount of plastic trapped in the sand also has an effect on the gender ratio as plastic traps and retains heat .
The fact that most of these threats are human induced means it much more easier to eliminate them compared to issues like climate changes. Changing human behaviour is key in the successful conservation of sea turtles.

Hibernating painted turtles are able to to stay underwater for months during hibernation. During this time they still need oxygen, so they will take in water through their cloaca (a multipurpose orifice at the turtles hind end) and absorb enough oxygen to survive.
