Chapter 79 (1/2)

Fang Ye focused his attention and carefully observed the surrounding shops. These shops have rolling shutter doors and no counters. What they sell can be said to be at a glance.

Ten meters ahead, I suddenly found a dozen people gathered in an aquatic product store. I suddenly had a hunch that the protected animals he was looking for should be here!

Squeeze into the crowd and look at it with a probe. There is a big black turtle on the ground. Its body length is roughly estimated to be 50cm. Its head is shrunk in its shell and its eyes blink.

Fangye was surprised to see the turtle!

Is this a black boot tortoise?

Species: black boot tortoise

Gender: Male

Age: 30

Mood: fear and panic

Open the observation eye and see, sure enough.

Fangye's understanding of tortoises began with the Galapagos tortoise, the largest tortoise in the world. The Galapagos tortoise is named after the Galapagos Islands where it is located. It is really huge. The largest is a moving hill on which adults can sit.

The Galapagos archipelago is composed of a small island, because the ecological environment of different islands is very different. The tortoises there have differentiated into different subspecies according to the islands over a long period of time.

The most regrettable thing is the pingta Island Tortoise ”lonely George”. When people found it, the ecological environment of the island had been damaged by foreign wild goats, leaving only one pingta Island tortoise. People spent decades trying to find other subspecies with similar genes to help it breed, but they failed in the end. Only George died in solitude, and the pingta Island turtle species disappeared from the earth forever.

There is a level of loneliness, what a shopping, a person eating hot pot, a person singing K, the highest level 10 is a person doing surgery.

What are these loneliness compared to the loneliness of the whole species.

After lamenting for ”lonely George”, Fang ye also went to know about domestic tortoises. Among them, he was most impressed by the black boot tortoise, because its shell was dark and its limbs had thick and hard scales, which was very similar to the basalt in myths and legends.

I saw it and remembered it immediately.

Among the onlookers, someone squatted down, gently tapped the turtle's hard back shell with his knuckles, narrowed his eyes and listened. Such a sophisticated action is more than knocking on the watermelon.

Or can you tell your age by knocking on the turtle shell?

The onlookers were amazed!

”What a big bastard!”

”If you stew a pot of soup, the whole family can eat it all day.”

”Ah, such a big turtle was often seen before, but later it became less.”

”Just blow!”

”It's really bragging. Such a big turtle was a rare thing in the past. However, two palm sized wild bastards are quite common. They are sold in a basket when they go to the market, and many people buy them back to make soup. Now I can only pick up Brazilian turtles. The stew tastes average. ”
