当我们想到海龟时，首先想到的是龟壳。 这也难怪！这是动物最引人注目的特征，也是最重要的特征。 没有其他物种有像爬行动物那样的罩子 龟壳坚固，极度坚硬，充满了神秘感。
因此，为了消除一些疑虑，请发现关于龟壳的特殊性，这是保护所有种类的海龟的一种手段!
龟甲的用途是什么？
龟壳被用作保护 由于它的速度较慢，在捕食者面前更容易收缩和隐藏。 以至于很少有动物能够打破它，美洲豹除外。
然而，与许多动画片所展示的不同，乌龟没有壳就不能生活，因为 你所有的骨头、器官和脊椎骨都在里面 .
简而言之，乌龟的壳是由肋骨和椎体融合而成，有三个主要部分：外层、骨质结构和内膜。
外层由角蛋白形成，与构成人类指甲的物质相同，但在这种情况下，它们更加坚硬。 骨骼结构有50多块骨头，保证了其抵抗力。

最后，内膜负责衬托肌肉和器官。
所有的乌龟都有相同的壳吗？
不！然而龟壳是物种间的一个普遍特征、 各自有不同的类型 根据他们的栖息地。
海龟的壳前面很宽，后面半平，符合流体力学原理，因此它们在水中移动灵活，而海龟的壳是圆形的，而且突出。
还有软壳龟！这种水生物种存在于河流和湖泊中。 它们的船体最轻，因为它们被认为是天然的游泳者。
乌龟的壳会再生吗？
是的! 水龟经常换壳 随着他们的成长和发展。
其他物种的蹄子如果被捕食者伤害，或由于其他损害，可以再生。 爬行动物继续生长，而蹄子则自行愈合，有一层新的角蛋白。
新的带子形成了所谓的生长环，或者说是条纹。 老龟的蹄子上有几条线，可以看出动物的年龄是人年。 然而，许多环在一年内就会出现和消失，所以从它们身上估计宠物的年龄是很困难的。
如果船体破裂，该怎么办？
家养的乌龟必须非常小心地照顾。 如果碰巧蹄子断了，一定要尽快带乌龟去看兽医，因为骨头和器官都暴露在外，可能会感染。
裂缝会引起强烈的疼痛，而且往往 可能需要进行手术干预 .
