Turtle Health Check | Secrets of the Zoo | National Geographic Wild UK

It’s health check time for three Yellow-headed temple turtles, one of the most endangered turtle species on the planet.

Temple turtles are part of a species survival programme, so the female turtles undergo an egg check, to see if they are are carrying any fully developed eggs, which when laid, can be incubated by the team.
