おもしろい事実

Some turtles, like this one, can breathe underwater by absorbing oxygen through their bum (cloaca)!

Their long, snake-like neck can be nearly as long as their shell itself!

They can "play dead" by going completely limp and even releasing a stinky fluid!

Unlike most turtles, they can't pull their head into their shell; they fold it sideways!

特殊能力

能力

Neck Grab

The Eastern long-necked turtle can rapidly extend its long neck to snatch unsuspecting fish or tadpoles because of its flexible vertebrae.

Eastern long-necked turtles can release a foul-smelling liquid from glands near their legs that helps them deter predators.
