    The turtle rhino is an exotic animal found only in Madagascar. They have the strength of a rhino and shell of a turtle, with a keen sense of smell but poor eyesight. They are gray or black, reach 5 meters wide and 3 meters tall, and weigh up to 900kg as adults. They are herbivores that eat plants and can digest high-fiber foods. The rhino is a solitary, territorial animal except between mothers and young. Both males and females mark their territories with urine and feces and protect themselves with strong shells, though the shells make them slow.

    Generally there is only association between a
    mother and her young child, and adult males
    of all species are only temporarily associated
    with females in oestrus.

     and olfactory marking so through their feces and


    urine. The feces are deposited and then
    dispersed with kicks. When patrolling their
    territories bordering regions, urinate quite
    often. female territories overlap extensively
    and there is no evidence of territoriality
    among them, when they feel at risk are
    protected with tortoise shell, this is very
    strong, are a bit slow because the shell
    weighs.
