The donut turtle is a very good-tempered turtle that can get along well with other aquatic turtles. When they are sunbathing, they often mix into the team of sliding turtles, and they pile up with them, so lively!

However, such a harmonious turtle faces dangers everywhere in life. Whether in the sky, underground or in the water, there are their natural enemies, and with human capture, they are endangered in many areas. The reason why the species can continue is due to their strong ability to survive. Below, the editor will give you an in-depth analysis of the outstanding survival skills of donut turtles.

One, united efforts

As the saying goes, a single tree does not make a forest, donut turtles know this truth, so they like to travel in groups. Once these turtles form a large family, they rarely leave the group at will. Individuals who are unexpectedly out of the group will also sneak into the friendly team in a timely manner, foraging and sunbathing with them, as if they were a member of the group.

Second, advance and retreat together

Group activities are not bluffs, donut turtles are very organized when they are in danger. Even if they were disturbed or frightened during their favorite back tanning activity, the group slid into the water together with agility and no slack. After all, a little bit of carelessness can be taken away by some birds or mammals.

Three, walk fast

Merely being organized and disciplined is far from enough, donut turtles can be as fast as they are on land or in water. Amazing. Their images are quite different from the tortoises in the story of The Tortoise and the Hare.

Fourth, plan ahead

Of course, being the natural enemy of donut turtles, speed or explosiveness are not covered. Therefore, when fleeing, the turtles at the back of the team are still very dangerous, but they are prepared for a rainy day. Once they find that they are too late to enter the water, they will quickly retract their heads, tails and limbs into their hard carapaces, making it impossible for most natural enemies to attack. When the predators are gone, they slide into the water in search of groups.

V. Stalking and hiding

Donut turtles have excellent hiding ability, even when they are sleeping, they will hide under the vegetation in the water , so that it is less likely to be detected by the enemy. When the sun came out, they returned to the shore to bask their backs. While hibernating, donut turtles also burrow into the mud on the bottom of the water, leaving enemies without a trace. Moreover, they do not need to breathe when hibernating, and only get oxygen from the water through the cloaca, giving the enemy no chance of detection at all.
