This week's theme is 'rare'...this is the picture of a newly emerged river terrapin or Batagur baska...It was taken at Dungun River, Terengganu...
for information, this river terrapin @ tuntung sungai in Malay, can only be found in India, Bangladesh, Peninsular Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, and Cambodia...it has been listed as Critically Endangered species in the IUCN Red List..this species is 'rarely' seen in wild now...i am soo lucky because i have the opportunity to work with this species..some of the people outside don't even know how this terrapin or tuntung look like...
*****
these are another photos of the terrapins..
