Turtle, scientific name turtle, also known as King Eight, Tuan fish and water fish, is an oviparous amphibian reptile. Wild turtles inhabit reservoirs, lakes, ponds, and rivers with slower currents.
However, due to the high economic value of wild turtles, they are heavily fished, so it is very difficult to see real wild turtles in natural waters today.
However, recently a fisherman in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, caught a wild big turtle, and it is also a rare "golden turtle", and some people want to buy it at a high price.

A few days ago, Amin (nickname), a fishing enthusiast who lives in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, came to the wild river in the countryside with his friends to fish, mainly to catch some yellow spicy ding.
Due to the recent continuous rainy weather, the river is relatively turbid, so Amin and his friends plan to use earthworms for fishing, because when the water quality is turbid, it is also a good time to catch yellow spicy ding.
(Golden turtles are rare)
According to Amin (pseudonym), the two fished for more than 3 hours, probably due to the large current and the fish mouth is not very good, so they did not catch a few yellow spicy dings. While waiting, I suddenly saw floating sideways on the surface of the water.
Hurriedly lifting the rod, but I felt that the fish hook seemed to be hanging on to something, and I couldn't pull it. After half a day of shaking, the things under the water began to move, and when they came out of the water, they found that it was a big golden turtle.

This "golden turtle" weighs about 2 pounds, but everyone is curious, why is this turtle golden? So Amin sent it to the Internet, and after being seen by netizens, some people were willing to buy it at a price of 5,000 to 10,000.
Netizens want to buy golden turtles
Even if you have not seen wild turtles, the old turtles that are artificially farmed in the vegetable market are still relatively common.
The shape of the turtle is more similar to that of a turtle, but the color difference is large, the overall color of the wild turtle is usually dark green, while the color of the back is light brown, and the turtle's belly is white and slightly red.

However, wild turtles sometimes change their body color due to the environmental influence of their habitat, but the overall change is not much different, but it is certain that it will not turn golden.
The "golden turtle" caught by the Nanchang anglers is actually suffering from a turtle albinism disease, and sometimes some fish also suffer from albinism. However, in addition to the different colors, the other is not different, it is also edible.
In July 2014, at the Shuiximen Vegetable Market in Hubei Province, a fish stall owner bought an albino golden turtle, which caused many people to watch.

The fisherman has a saying: some people want to buy at a high price, but in fact, they are not bought to eat, but kept as pets. Because the golden turtle is very rare, its ornamental value is very high, and for the rich, ten thousand dollars is not nothing.
However, some netizens said that spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy an old turtle is not a bit silly? In fact, this price is not stupid at all, because the golden turtle after albinism has a certain genetic gene.
(Fortunately, in the end, this golden turtle was returned to nature)
Therefore, if this albino golden turtle can breed more small golden turtles, it is only profitable.
Because this "golden turtle" is relatively rare, it can't bear to sell it, and finally released it. #Fishing ##甲鱼 #
