Possum Creek. Adults and children alike will love exploring the blend of nature, history and community at Possum Creek. Hike together in one of Ohioâs best examples of a tall grass prairie. Itâs hard to imagine that this home for butterflies and bluebirds was once degraded farmland.
Turtles and tortoises are closely related. They are both reptiles from the same family (Testudines or Chelonian). The main difference between the two is that turtle is the name given to water-dwellers and tortoise is the name given to land-dwellers.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Giant Tortoise are characteristic reptiles that are found on two groups of tropical islands: the Aldabra Atoll in Seychelles and the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. These tortoises can weigh as much as 300 kg (660 lb) and can grow to be 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) long.ldabra giant tortoises reproduce and lay up to 25 rubbery eggs between February and May. Mating is a noisy process, with the males bellowing like a bull, and chasing after the females. During copulation, the maleâs tail guides his penis into position to fertilize the female, with copulation lasting for 10â15 minutes.
