Is Brazilian tortoise a water turtle or a turtle?

Brazilian turtle belongs to leptospira, which is an aquatic turtle.

Because it has two thick red stripes on both sides of the back of the head, it is also called red-eared turtle.

Extended data:

The Brazilian red-eared turtle has spread from its place of origin to the whole American continent, and successfully invaded Europe, Africa, Oceania and Asian countries, and even found them in many wild places as far away as Denmark and northern Canada, becoming an internationally famous "alien invasive creature". In 2000, IUCN announced 100 of the most dangerous invasive species in the world, among which the Brazilian red-eared turtle was impressively listed. But many pet markets in China can see Brazilian tortoises on sale.

The harm of Brazilian red-eared turtle has been highly valued abroad. After realizing its harm, many countries have taken relevant measures in time. The first is to ban the trade of Brazilian red-eared turtles. The United States 1975 prohibits the international trade of underage Brazilian red-eared turtles, Europe 1997 prohibits the import of Brazilian red-eared turtles, and South Korea 200 1 prohibits the import of Brazilian red-eared turtles. In China, there is no relevant management and research department to conduct special investigation and research on Brazilian red-eared turtle, and there are no management measures to restrict import, standardize feeding and release this species. According to previous statistics, Brazilian red-eared turtles are still imported into China through various channels at a rate of about 8 million per year.
