It's time for my Brazilian turtle (Gu Gu) to slowly wake up from hibernation, right?
Gu Gu has been with me for two whole years, experienced two cold winters and two hibernations.
When I met Gu Gu in the early autumn of the previous year, he came to my dormitory, and at first he refused to eat and seemed irritable. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it still does not eat or drink, and loves to drill into the corner, staying in it and refusing to come out, not understanding what is going on. So, put it in a wooden footbasin, cover it with clothes, and let it hibernate.
I woke up from hibernation last spring and finally opened my mouth to eat, but after eating for about half a year, I slowly stopped eating again in the fall: I was ready to hibernate again. Or like the year before, let it be in the footbasin. This foot basin has been ground into grooves in many places after a winter of toeing, but it is still usable, and it will be used exclusively for it in the future.
After covering it twice, I never opened it to see it, and I don't know what it looks like in hibernation. As the saying goes, the thousand-year-old king is eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise. I'm sure it's a turtle, so let's keep it a mystery. This kind of miraculous creature lives well without eating or drinking for half a year, and for this reason alone, I believe that it has magical powers, or that God has given it magical powers. It is true that snakes, frogs, squirrels and other animals also hibernate, but the only animals that have experienced a long hibernation and lived a long life are turtles.
However, my Brazilian tortoise (valley) is even more magical. As I mentioned in an article, Gu Gu once fell from the fifth floor on the concrete floor and was unharmed. Since that incident, I've been convinced that it's magical. God has given me a miraculous thing, so why not do it, so I have been raising it.
With a thunderclap, everything will wake up again, and of course, Gu Gu is no exception. For the whole winter, it stayed in the footbasin, did not eat or drink, and only heard it toe a few times. It survived a lonely and difficult winter, and then opened its eyes and crawled around on the ground. I love the cute way it looks when it crawls.
Gu Gu, when will you wake up from hibernation, but you have to send me a message.
