The living habits of the Angoloca giant tortoise
Angoloka Angoloca tortoises

Angoloca tortoises have the ability to lay eggs at any time of the year. A group of Angoloca tortoises are artificially bred in Kansas City, and are kept outdoors in warm weather. , move indoors during the cold weather, and usually lay eggs from October every year to April of the following year for seven years. This is because Angoloca giant tortoises can lay eggs at any time of the year, so they must prepare one. In order for them to lay eggs successfully, a spawning space must have a higher humidity and a substrate mixed with peat soil, mousse, and sand. The secret room for spawning must have a slope so that they can lay eggs successfully. To enter and exit, the size of the secret room is about 1.2×1.2×0.6M. The above-mentioned substrate must be at least 50CM deep inside. The most important thing is that at least one male Angoloca giant tortoise can enter. Competition may stimulate their growth.

Angoloca giant tortoises often do not dig holes to inhabit, but only hide under grass or bushes. It takes 20 years for the Angoloca tortoise to become fully mature, starting from a phantom tortoise the size of a table tennis ball. The adult body is about 40cm long, and the male is larger than the female. Angoloca giant tortoises only move in the morning or evening, and spend most of their time hiding under grass or bushes. Most of the food is eaten from surrounding plants or weeds.

The competition starts with a slap and intimidation, and then starts to try to knock the opponent down in a way similar to wrestling (I think it should be more appropriate to use a conflict explanation). The winning side (usually because of the size of the opponent) (larger) will begin to display courtship behaviors. Male Angoloca tortoises will generally initiate courtship behaviors toward female tortoises to obtain her approval. However, yellow-legged tortoises that are closely related to tortoises by blood do not There is another kind of head courtship movement. The head courtship movement of the Angoloka giant tortoise is more of a horizontal flirtation. Compared with the yellow-legged tortoise's straight movement to the side of the female turtle, it is a little bit insignificant. Generally, male Angoloca giant tortoises will follow the female turtle to investigate each other until the female turtle accepts their attention. The special shell shape of the male turtle helps them stabilize their center during mating movements. When the female turtle intends to leave, the female turtle will usually move around and sometimes take the male turtle into the low trees.
