Absolutely beautiful big snapper. Glad to hear people stopped for them, cars are unfortunately decimating the population of countless turtle species.

This is the adorable Black-breasted Leaf Turtle (Geoemyda spengleri) they have very distinctive large eyes with a sharp shell and are found in China, Laos and Vietnam. They are endangered due to the pet trade and 'medicinal use' leading to a 70% decline in population. #cute #turtles #turtelytuesday

Eastern Box Turtles can completely close their shells and hide away (Much like me these past 2 weeks) they can then slowly open it and check if there is still a threat. This species is considered Vulnerable by the IUCN due to collection for personal use and the illegal pet trade. #cute #turtles

The Florida Mud Turtle (Kinosternon steindachneri), as the name would suggest, is endemic to Florida and its binomial name is in tribute to Austrian Herpetologist Franz Steindachner. ICUN lists them as 'Data Deficient' but notes their population is decreasing. #turtles #cute #nature #conservation

These guys are Spotted Pond Turtles (Geoclemys hamiltonii), an endangered species endemic to Southern Asia. They are currently under threat from people collecting them for food and the pet trade which has led to an over 50% decrease in their population. #turtles #conservation #cute #nature

This is the Western Pond Turtle (Actinemys pallida), they are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN but that assessment was carried out in 1996 so it is believed they are now Endangered. This is due to intensive water use by humans, invasive species and past consumption of the turtles. #turtles #cute

This is Dahl's Toad-headed Turtle, a critically endangered species found in Northern Colombia and discovered by George Dahl and named after him. Unfortunately this species is inbred and so work is being done to increase genetic diversity and habitat reconstruction is also being done. #turtles #cute

Mona Khalil who spent decades protecting sea turtles has passed away after a missile strike in Lebanon. This is a huge blow and her and her work will not be forgotten. She made the biggest sacrifices to save turtles and I’ll be forever grateful to her. Rest In Peace Mona. #MonaKhalil #turtles

It's been a while since I've made a post about a tortoise so here's the Chaco Tortoise (Chelonoidis chilensis) which is mostly found in Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. Interestingly there is debate over whether this species is infact 2 distinct species. #turtles #nature #cute #tortoise

The Eastern Longneck Turtle (chelodina longicollis) is characterised by its well long neck. They can grow up to 11 inches in length and also has musk glands much like other turtles and will release this musk when threatened. #turtles #turtle #cool #facts #education #art #turtlefacts #snakeneckturtle
