    They are not particularly territorial, because they are aquatic animals, and some aquatic animals do not have some territorial awareness.

    Not strong. Because the tortoise has a very large range of movement and the water is flowing, it is not very territorial conscious.

    The turtle does not have a sense of territory, because it is an aquatic creature, so there is no special sense of territory.

    The turtle does have a sense of territory, once it is used to living in an environment and is already familiar with the surrounding environment, and suddenly some of the same kind intrudes, then the turtle's territorial awareness will become very strong. If it is other species, and other species are not turtles, then the turtle's territorial awareness will not be strong. For example, if we have a turtle and suddenly put a cat in the territory of the turtle, the turtle may not react too strongly to this, but if we put another turtle inside, then it is very likely that the two turtles will fight, in fact, this can show that the sense of territory is relatively strong.

    Generally speaking, if no other species of the same kind intrudes into the turtle's environment, then the turtle basically does not emit such a territorial-minded reaction. The turtle will also emit a certain smell in its familiar environment, and will even excrete as a marker. When another species of turtle enters its environment, and the turtle smells this smell, it will approach, and if it is found that the turtle has a certain threat to itself, then the turtle's territorial consciousness will be stimulated, and it will become aggressive.

    If it is two turtles of male and female, then the situation will naturally be much better, and it is not easy to fight. <>

    Territorial consciousness is an instinct to defend and fight for living space. For tortoises, in fact, they carry this instinct from the moment they are born, and many lions, tigers or wolves in the wild have this awareness. The purpose is to be able to survive better, and at the same time better compensate the prey, if there are more other species, it will affect its foraging in this area, affecting their living space.

    When we raise turtles, we can raise one or raise two males and females, if we put other turtles in the middle, then it is easy to fight, and even bite each other, which is not conducive to the health of turtles, this must be paid attention to, so as not to hurt the turtles, and then we will have a headache for Qingmeng.

    When the tortoise is resting and soaking in the sun and is disturbed, its territorial awareness will become very strong, because the tortoise is an animal that likes to be quiet.

    European tortoises have a strong sense of territory, animals are territorial, turtles are no exception, our turtle environment is often not very large, the breeding density is large, turtles are easy to fight because of the grabbing of territory. European tortoises have a strong sense of territory, animals are territorial, tortoises are no exception, especially some species of tortoises have a strong sense of territoriality, our tortoise environment is often not very large, the breeding density is large, tortoises are easy to fight because of the grabbing of territory.

    Hungry tortoises become extremely active, swimming around in search of food, and tortoises are also very restless and aggressive, fighting for food. Even sometimes it is possible for a very hungry turtle to eat its own kind.

    Male tortoises are generally more aggressive than females, especially during breeding periods, and can become extremely aggressive in order to compete for mating rights. There is a deep hostility towards the turtles of the same sex that can be seen in the visual range, and once encountered, it will be a battle between the world and the world.

    Sometimes turtles attack their own kind not out of hostility, but by mistakenly taking a part of their own body for food, the most common part being the tail. If the turtle's tail, claws and other parts are stained with food or injured and broken skin, it is easy to cause other turtles to be attracted by the smell, and mistakenly balance these parts and do not think that they are food chasing bites.
