As the tide of chemicals born of the industrial age has arisen to engulf our environment. Today we are concerned with a different kind of hazard that lurks in our environment. Pollution , water smog,volcano smoke, grass and vegetation all represents the native lands we all inhabit. the environment issue faced are of life and preservation to our well being. With out a clean sky birds cannot fly, without clean water animals can't swim, drink or eat; from the plant nets resources neither can we. Man destroys wood and trees for its development for other resources of survival.
poverty is every where we see from the grave to the front door, do we open with respect to our nature or lose, because we fear our progress which will it be. why do we make things to kill ourselves than preserve ourselves. We make cigarettes, grow food & pollute or waters knowing it will kills us. It seems that we are trying to change the population size from growing out of control, or is it's because we are on a faster paste than we need. It may be we can't control our own in order to keep an advantage. Are we running out of room for the populations growth size.
the battle of living things began so long ago that its origin is lost in time. But it must have begun in a natural environment, in which whatever life inhabited the earth was subjected, for good or ill.

Therefore, they eat different kinds of fish, insects, frogs, tadpoles, crayfish, other invertebrates as well as fruits and aquatic plant matter. The subspecies of Chicken Turtles are the 'Eastern Chicken Turtle', scientific name Deirochelys reticularia reticularia, the Western Chicken Turtle, scientific name Deirochelys reticularia miaria and the Florida Chicken Turtle, scientific name Deirochelys reticularia chrysea.Males have a longer and thicker tail than females, though the female Chicken Turtle is larger than the males. Chicken Turtles are commonly found on land and migrate between aquatic habitats and the soil. They normally try to escape dry conditions. They hibernate either in the soft mud or the vegetations in water.
