Fly River Turtle

Fly River turtles are almost entirely aquatic and are the only freshwater turtles that have flippers – all the rest are sea turtles. Their shells are covered in skin, and feel slippery and leathery to the touch. They eat mostly vegetation and fruit, but will consume fish and crustaceans when they can catch them.
