Fly River Turtle

The Fly River turtle has flipper-like legs and skin-covered shell. These features make them resemble sea turtles. These turtles live in streams and rivers, and get their name from the Fly River in New Guinea. They’re sometimes called pig-nosed turtles due to their snout-like nose. They can be found in the wetlands and marine areas of northern Australia, Indonesia, and southern Papua New Guinea. These turtles are omnivores and eat a diet of fruit and leaves, but also crustaceans, mollusks, and insects.
