Рассказ про сухопутную черепаху на английский язык 5 класс

Land turtles are species that live exclusively on land and use water only for drinking and bathing. In this group of about 40 species, and they are strictly protected by law. But despite this, huge numbers of turtles illegally transported for sale, and also illegally sold. Often in these "travels" are created absolutely intolerable conditions for the animals, most of which do not survive to the end of the trip, and the remainder died shortly after transport. Therefore before you buy a turtle, make sure the seller has the relevant documents. This will guarantee that you will sell a healthy animal on sale legally.

Tortoises live in warm climates. Animals are cold blooded and need the heat of the sun, so their habitats - steppes, deserts or the humid subtropical and tropical zones. At night, when temperatures drop, turtles bury themselves in the soil heated during the day. And in the morning when the sun begins to warm, they get out, substituting your shell for heating.
