Meet the Mary River Turtle

Such a stylish turtle!
 

You may never have heard of them, but the Mary River Turtle is the most charming algae haired turtle you could ever wish to meet. Sadly endangered, this native Australian freshwater 'punk' turtle sports an eye-catching green algae mohawk and is also notable for breathing through its genitals! Once popular as pets, these guys take 25-30 endless years to reach maturity!
