Pipa Pipa
The term "Pipa Pipa" refers to a species of turtle known scientifically as Pipa pipa. This freshwater turtle is native to the Amazon Basin in South America. It is characterized by its flat, broad body and unique appearance, which includes a smooth, leathery shell. Pipa pipa is often found in slow-moving waters, such as rivers and swamps.
Pipa pipa is notable for its reproductive behavior. The female lays eggs, which are then embedded in her back, where they develop until hatching. This fascinating adaptation helps protect the eggs from predators. The species primarily feeds on small invertebrates and is known for its ability to breathe through its skin while submerged.
