Description: | Box Tortoises have a hinged lower shell to give the animal more space, allowing both head and forelimbs to stretch out when feeding while still being able to close up tightly when needed. The first picture gives an idea of the very large aperture when the lid is open, and number three shows how tightly the box can close. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
