Malayan Flat-shelled Turtle (Notochelys platynota) - Danum Valley, Malaysia

 

Finding wild turtles in Malaysia was a rewarding experience, nearly all Asian turtles are threatened and this one is no exception, its currently listed as vulnerable on the IUCN redlist and its populations are decreasing. Luckily its safe in certain protected areas such as Danum.
