🐢 Just a pig-nosed turtle enjoying his floating fruit.

Upon a brief look at the pig-nosed turtle, you can see where it gets its name! Its nostrils sit in the front of its fleshy snout, giving it the appearance similar to a pig!

The pig-nosed turtle is sometimes known as the fly river turtle, named after one body of water in New Guinea where it is commonly found. It has undersized claws on its front legs that are shaped like paddles. Although the turtle’s upper shell is covered by a layer of leathery skin, it is not a softshell turtle.

Visit the pig-nosed turtle and other reptiles in the Herpetarium the next time you visit the Zoo! #StlZoo #Turtle #AnimalsAlways
