Krefft's Turtle (adult)

Emydura krefftii

Notes:

10/11/12 - New shots (1-3) added. These pics were taken on 30/6/12 but I have uploaded them today in honour of Excalibur's release. He will go back to the wild tomorrow, along with baby Krefft's Turtle Franklin (seen in Shot 3 and at http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/104...). 5/6/12 - This adult Krefft's Turtle (Shots 4-6), named Excalibur, came into our care last week. Its shell is cracked and it also has a strange almost perfectly round hole which is a bit soft around the edges. It was found in northern Brisbane; we are not sure how its injuries came about. It is the biggest Krefft's Turtle my husband has ever seen... which is funny since we are also currently caring for the smallest Krefft's Turtle he's ever seen!
