testoasa cu capac/ greaca


Explanation:
Broasca testoasa cu capac sau greaca (testudo greaca ibera)
Brosaca trestoasa cu capac sau broasca cu capac, este raspandita in nord-vestul Africii, Bazinul Mediteranean, Asia Mica si Peninsula Balcanica. La noi in tara se intalneste indeosebi in Dobrogea. De talie mijlocie, la varsta de adult poate ajunge la 20-30 cm. Capul, gatul si membrele se pot retrage in totalitate sub carapace. La toate animalele mai in varsta, carapacea este mai bombata iar in partea posterioara este mai latita, spre deosebire de tineret, la care carapacea este mai putin convexa si cu contur aproape circular. Culoarea carapacei este galbena sau galben-verzui, iar marginile si chiar unele zone pot fi de culoare brun inchis. Plastronul este ornat cu pete intinse de culoare maronie, pe un fond de culoare galben-versui deschis. Coadaeste scurta si fara varf cornos. Pe ambele parti ale cozii se gaseste cate un tubercul cornos
Masculul are cloaca anala mai proeminenta, iar plastronul mult mai concav comparativ cu al femelei.
Broastele testoase cu capac coabiteaza in locuri uscate, insorite, pe dealuri cu inaltimi reduse si vegetatia bogata, dar se intalnesc frecvent si in paduri. Este un animal foarte agil, care in timpul zilei se deplaseaza permanent dupa hrana, iar noaptea si in timpul zilei cu temperaturi ridicate, se adaposteste in tufe, intre pietre, in mici pesteri sapate in stancile calcaroase etc.
Hrana este in exclusivitate vegetala, consumand frunze, fructe, flori si cu totul accidental, rame si melci. In conditii vitrege de trai poate deveni chiar coprofaga sau consumatoare de pamant cu un continut ridicat de substante organice.
Avand o carapace foarte solida, are in general putini dusmani si acestia mai ales in perioada de tineret, cand carapacea este mai moale, aceasta intarindu-se odata cu varsta. In iunie, femela depune 2-5 oua, cu coaja tare, ce vor ecloza in august sau septembrie. Uneori, puii intra direct in hibernare pana primavara viitoare.
