Unique Turtle Species

I am very glad that Mrs has been very active for a while. She ate three feeder fish last week with fairly amount of turtle food every morning. I am really surprised about her appetite, and it's really hard to believe she can swim quickly enough to chase the fish! Anyway, I am happy she is healthy and seems really enjoy her big acqurium.

Today I wanted to share some unique turtle spcecies. Some of them look really funny and weird. :)

Chinese Softshelled Turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis)


Argentine Snake-necked Turtle (Hydromedusa tectifera)


Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina)


Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macrochelys temminckii)
