Red -udash turtles are found in the water area of Babaevsky biologists of the Ecology Institute and the evolution of An Seversov Ras. This freshwater reptile is considered strange with the natural conditions of Central Russia.
The birthplace of a red turtle is North America. Historically, it was only found in the Mississippi basin (USA) and on a nearby Mexico territory. After that, the turtle spread throughout the world, becoming an invasion. In some countries, for example in Australia, it was officially at the official level of pests.
Despite the fact that the red turtle is considered a popular pet, not all owners know about the responsibility of its content. Because reptiles have lived for decades, they require some complicated conditions and care. Some owners understand that they cannot deal with these pets, drop them into the waters, without thinking about the consequences.
One of the main issues is the change of the ecosystem, which occurs due to the penetration into the natural environment of foreign species. They compete with local foods and living environments, which can lead to their crowds.
The red turtle is omnivorous, it can eat frogs, gunpoint larvae and fry. In the capital, she has a direct competitor – a swamp turtle, listed in the monitoring list of Moscow's red book. Both types occupy a similar ecological cavity, eating almost the same, but invaders are often stronger.
At the same time, the increase in the number of populations of a red turtle occurs much faster than the swamp. It should be noted that the red turtles spread not only in a natural way. They can survive in cold winter conditions. In the fall, they are buried in the bottom of the river and other ponds, hibernating until spring.
In the Metropolitan Natural Management and Environmental Management, the town residents called the town residents responsible for the choice of pets. Before you get a pet, you need to study his needs, assess your ability and understand that his fate depends on the owner.
