What is the difference between a turtle, a turtle, a turtle, a turtle, and an eagle?

The difference between turtles and soft-shell turtles (also known as soft-shell turtles and tortoises) is mainly reflected in two aspects: 1. Appearance: The shape of soft-shell turtles is oval, flatter than turtles. Judging from the appearance and color, soft-shell turtles usually have dark dorsal edges and limbs.

Green, some are light brown on the back, white and red on the belly.

Its head is like a turtle, and its dorsal and ventral carapace is covered with a soft outer membrane. It does not have turtle-like stripes and is softer than a turtle.

2. In terms of habits: Most terrestrial turtles are herbivorous, most soft-shell turtles are carnivorous, and other species are also omnivorous.

Temperate species hibernate during the winter (hibernation), while tropical species hibernate during hot periods (aestivation).

The turtle is a cold-blooded animal, amphibious on land and water, and breathes with its lungs.

Likes to live in rivers, lakes and ponds.

It often floats to the surface of the water and stretches out the tip of its snout to breathe. It also often moves on land to bask in the sun.

3. The bite force of turtles is stronger than that of most turtles. Turtles can shrink their whole body, but turtles cannot.
