Title: New Guinea Side Neck Turtle

Notes: Range: New Guinea

The strange long neck of this species gives it the ability to catch fish while swimming or buried in the soft mud of coastal swamps. Unlike most turtles this one can not withdraw its head into its shell but instead must swing it to the side.
