Rich of famous popular science advocate beautiful corrode, from Chinese geological university (Wuhan) life science is zoologic after direction graduates, be engaged in wild animal protecting relevant job, from rise 56 years ago, begin to pay close attention to spot turtle this one species. When beautiful corrode accepts media to interview, say: "Current, inside alive bound limits, large terrapin kind species is test-tube the technology is not quite mature, accordingly, what be aimed at female spot turtle this is test-tube also be to risking huge risk doing.

What to spot turtle we understand is too little
A consensus with relatively unified industry is, we are right spot turtle this a group of things with common features group of understanding too little. Even, the female spot turtle that dies only then comes from He De after all, also do not have final conclusion temporarily.
"We learn to the zoology of spot turtle, behavior, the respect research such as heredity is not comprehensive, fundamental job was not accomplished, tell the truth, differ from the knowledge that saves need of place of a species too far. " Wen Chengshui, "According to a few stories that see now, oosperm once had, just proportion is very small, yo of foetal hair of the embryo in hatch process died to a week left and right sides. " hear assist to have a bold hypothesis, if female comes from red river drainage area, the level of genetic become divided of it and turtle of that spot of the Yangtse River may achieve subspecies above, oosperm proportion is small because reproduction is kept apart,the likelihood is. And if be turtle of red river spot, the temperature that place of that oosperm hatch needs is in likely 35 to 36 ℃ , taller even. The river valley fighting heat that lays eggs centrally because of turtle of foregone red river spot is in progenitive and seasonal temperature is extremely high, nearly always prep above of 35 ℃ . Reflect this level, is the temperature that Suzhou zoo installs when the hatch before this too low?

"Whole process is troubled by very tiredly, very anxious. " hear assist to feel very regretful, "The basic research that if we spend time of 10 years to make spot turtle ecology, genetics and field,protects place to need works, whether can ending differ?
