Pig Nosed Turtle: Everything You Need To Know Pig Nosed Turtle, Feeding, Care, Housing And Diet

By Daniel Louis

Pig-nosed turtle is not normal for some other types of freshwater turtle. The feet are flippers, taking after those of marine turtles. The nose seems as though that of a pig, having the nostrils toward the finish of a plump nose, consequently the regular name. The carapace is ordinarily dark or olive, with a rugged surface, while the plastron is cream-shaded. Guys can be recognized from females by their more drawn out and smaller tails. Pig-nosed turtles can develop to around 70 cm (28 in) carapace length, with a load of more than 20 kg (44 lb). Not at all like the delicate shelled turtles of the family Trionychidae, pig-nosed turtles hold a domed hard carapace underneath their weathered skin, as opposed to a level plate. They additionally hold a strong plastron, associated with the carapace by a solid hard extension, as opposed to the delicate edge of the trionychids
