      Mary River Turtle (Elusor macrurus) - note the massive tail which gives them the specific name macrurus.

      Thank you. Is the attached picture also a Mary River Turtle? It was in an enclosure signed for them, however the large ones above were unsigned in the Freshwater Crocodile enclosure.

      I would say not, with that bright yellow eye. Maybe a Krefft's River Turtle or a Brisbane Short-necked Turtle perhaps.

      Here is another one in the same enclosure as the other attached one. A third species?
    • Chlidonias
      that last one is a Saw-shelled Turtle Elseya latisternum I believe.
    There are no comments to display.
