Leyland's Tortoise

# Leyland's Tortoise
Leyland's tortoise is a species of tortoise indigenous to Earth (Sol III). They have glossy shells with minor color variation around the scutes and the edges of the shells. Extremely docile, they are kept as pets by Humans, especially long-haul spacers. Over-collection and habitat destruction have made them nearly extinct in the wild.

# Description
Leyland's tortoises have smooth, domed shells in shades of green, yellow, and brown. The shell is relatively smooth; even if the tortoise matured in harsh conditions, the shell shows little to no scute pyramiding. The edges of the shell flare out slightly at the sides. The plastron is usually yellow, with green edging where it connects to the shell. The back end of the plastron is indented in a V-shape, underneath which is a small, nubby tail. Each of the tortoise's four legs ends with five claws.

# Range and Behavior
The original habitat of Leyland's tortoise was limited to the South American continent, along the Andes mountains and into the central rainforest. Due to habitat destruction, the only remaining wild breeding population of Leyland's tortoise on Earth is found along the Amazon river in protected areas of rainforest. Attempts to establish Leyland's tortoise on other planets have been met with limited success; Saisei (Centauri III) and Locke (Idris IV) both sustain minor Leyland's tortoise populations. In 2875, conservationists attempted to introduce the tortoise to Lo (Corel III). However, Banu residents of the planet consumed it at an unsustainable rate. The population did not take hold.


The tortoises are foragers, most active in the late afternoon until sunset, with a smaller window of high activity from sunrise to midmorning. Seeds, greens, fruit, invertebrates, roots, grasses, and fungi form the bulk of the tortoise's diet. Over 50% of its day is spent at rest in shared burrows with other tortoises. After consuming a large meal, a tortoise might rest, totally immobile, for up to a week at a time.

# Pet Trade
Leyland's tortoises are popular pets due to their docility, low-cost diet, long lifespan, and adaptability to varying conditions. They are easily kept aboard most spacecraft in roofless enclosures 2 meters wide, 2 meters long, and 50 centimeters high. Plenty of shady spots and heated areas should be provided along with shelter and water. Ideally, a tortoise should not be kept alone. It is recommended that owners choose companions of the same sex to discourage unintentional breeding.


Because the tortoise is nearly extinct in the wild, it is illegal to own one that has been captured instead of captively bred. Any person within the UEE found with a wild-caught Leyland's tortoise in their possession is subject to fine and arrest.

START-->Die Leyland-Schildkröte ist eine Schildkrötenart, die auf der Erde (Sol III) heimisch ist. Sie haben glänzende Panzer mit kleinen Farbvariationen um die Schuppen und die Kanten der Panzer. Sie sind extrem gutmütig und werden von Menschen als Haustiere gehalten, vor allem von Raumfahrern, die viel unterwegs sind. Übermäßiges Sammeln und die Zerstörung ihres Lebensraums haben sie in freier Wildbahn fast ausgerottet.

== Beschreibung ==
Leyland-Schildkröten haben glatte, gewölbte Panzer in Grün-, Gelb- und Brauntönen. Der Panzer ist relativ glatt; selbst wenn die Schildkröte unter rauen Bedingungen heranwuchs, zeigt der Panzer wenig bis gar keine Pyramidenbildung. Die Kanten des Panzers laufen an den Seiten leicht aus. Das Plastron ist in der Regel gelb, mit einer grünen Umrandung an der Stelle, an der es mit dem Panzer verbunden ist. Das hintere Ende des Plastrons ist V-förmig eingekerbt, darunter befindet sich ein kleiner, genoppter Schwanz. Jedes der vier Beine der Schildkröte endet mit fünf Krallen.

== Verbreitungsgebiet und Verhalten ==
Der ursprüngliche Lebensraum der Leyland-Schildkröte war auf den südamerikanischen Kontinent, entlang der Anden und in den zentralen Regenwald beschränkt. Aufgrund der Lebensraumzerstörung befindet sich die einzige verbliebene wilde Zuchtpopulation der Leyland-Schildkröte auf der Erde entlang des Amazonas in geschützten Regenwaldgebieten. Versuche, die Leyland-Schildkröte auf anderen Planeten anzusiedeln, waren nur von begrenztem Erfolg gekrönt; Saisei (Centauri III) und Locke (Idris IV) unterhalten beide kleine Leyland-Schildkröten-Populationen. Im Jahr 2875 versuchten Naturschützer, die Schildkröte auf Lo (Corel III) einzuführen. Die Banu-Bewohner des Planeten verzehrten die Schildkröte jedoch in einem untragbaren Ausmaß. Die Population konnte sich nicht durchsetzen.

Die Schildkröten sind Futtersucher, die am späten Nachmittag bis zum Sonnenuntergang am aktivsten sind, mit einem kleineren Fenster hoher Aktivität von Sonnenaufgang bis zum frühen Morgen. Samen, Grünzeug, Früchte, wirbellose Tiere, Wurzeln, Gräser und Pilze bilden den Großteil der Nahrung der Schildkröten. Mehr als 50 % des Tages verbringt die Schildkröte in gemeinsamen Höhlen mit anderen Schildkröten. Nach dem Verzehr einer großen Mahlzeit kann eine Schildkröte bis zu einer Woche völlig unbeweglich ruhen.

== Haustierhandel ==
Leyland-Schildkröten sind beliebte Haustiere aufgrund ihrer Gelehrigkeit, ihrer preiswerten Ernährung, ihrer langen Lebensdauer und ihrer Anpassungsfähigkeit an unterschiedliche Bedingungen. Sie können leicht an Bord der meisten Raumschiffe in dachlosen Gehegen von 2 Metern Breite, 2 Metern Länge und 50 Zentimetern Höhe gehalten werden. Genügend schattige Plätze und beheizte Bereiche sollten ebenso vorhanden sein wie Unterschlupf und Wasser. Idealerweise sollte eine Schildkröte nicht alleine gehalten werden. Es wird empfohlen, dass die Besitzer gleichgeschlechtliche Gefährten wählen, um eine ungewollte Vermehrung zu verhindern.

Da die Schildkröte in freier Wildbahn fast ausgestorben ist, ist es illegal, eine Schildkröte zu besitzen, die gefangen und nicht in Gefangenschaft gezüchtet wurde. Jede Person innerhalb der UEE, die mit einer wild gefangenen Leyland-Schildkröte in ihrem Besitz angetroffen wird, muss mit einer Geldstrafe und Verhaftung rechnen.{{Quelle|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0rqMrrLpnB-leylands-tortoise|title=Galactapedia Leyland's Tortoise|date=08.02.2021|access_date=02.01.2022|ref=true|ref_name=galactapedia}}<!--
