guys i dont and answer me pls ! can or not mytortoise remember my face and voice?? :/
Since he is so short! lol this is funny!!!I think Charlie recognizes me. He treats me differently than other people who come into the yard. I don't think he necessarily recognizes my face. It could be something else about me, my voice or the way I walk, what my feet look like. My face is a long ways away from his most of the time, since he is so short!
I wonder about that. There are subtle differences in tortoises faces, scales, coloration, etc.I don't think they recognize faces they don't really have different faces Per se, so I don't know if they'll recognize it in other species
If you add a new tort to an existing herd there is definitely some checking the newbie out going on. Re-aligning the pecking order maybe. Whether it's the appearance or scent of the new addition that causes interest I don't know.I wonder about that. There are subtle differences in tortoises faces, scales, coloration, etc.
has anyone ever studied if tortoises could recognize one another?
This actually make senseI don't think they recognize faces they don't really have different faces Per se, so I don't know if they'll recognize it in other species
From what I've observed if there is some head on pushing the bigger tort usually ends up victorious, however one of my smaller females seems to be the bully,ive noticed this last couple of wks she wonders around the enclosure bobbing her head at any other tort that are near by, if the other tort doesn't move on she tries to bite their head forcing them to move, this same tort keeps sniffing the ground so I'm assuming she is gravid. We shall see.My herd can also tell at a distance when the BOSS, Julio, emerges into the yard.
They all scatter. And Julio is the same size and shape of the others.
But since the food goddess is always alone, maybe it's just a multiple human thing.
I feel the same way as far as Oli is concerned. I am sure he recognizes me but I do not think that torts can hear.Tidgy recognizes me visually, no doubt about it, not sure about my voice.
