In a channel in northern German Kellinghusen, workers have discovered a huge dangerous turtle. The twelve-kilogram vulture tortoise, which came to light during a chess cleaning, was with a almost certainty in the Stör River, the station manager from the wildlife and species protection center in Sparrieshoop, Christian Erdmann, said. He took the animal into his care – and gave him a name: Gabi.
“There is a nationwide ban on this dangerous turtles,” said Erdmann. Almost exactly a year ago, a walker discovered such a reptile in Baden-Württemberg on a dirt road. The police then warned for caution in vulture turtles. Because of their great biting strength, they are potentially able to violate humans and animals.
The Basel Zoo writes: “Your pine is so strong that you can cheat a broomstick. A human finger would be about the same challenge for your jaw as for our one salt bar.”
Gabi lives in the pond enclosure until the mediation
In the north German wildlife station there is a secure pond enclosure for exotic water turtles, as the station manager said. Gabi could stay there until the mediation. It is in good health. “Who knows how long she has lived in the sturgeon. There are plenty of eating there” – such as fish, crabs, snails and ducks.
Virtue turtles with 60 to 70 centimeters of armored length and up to 100 kilograms of weight are among the largest freshwater turtles. They look like living beings from prehistoric times. Your back armor is humpy, you have skin slopes on the neck and head. The jaw is hook -shaped and the almost body -length tail is similar to that of the crocodile.
