What's awesome, is that this species is also considered a living fossil. Fossils of Pig-Nosed Turtles that are millions of years old can be found in Northern Australia and New Guinea.
@@raymondjones1601 "A living fossil is an extant taxon that closely resembles organisms otherwise known only from the fossil record." Now you see, not all turtles have been known only from the fossil record. Some are relatively new.
Hi Lizard , The Pig-Nosed turtle is a Freshwater turtle. even though their flippers resemble those of Marine turtles. They are native to freshwater streams, lagoons and rivers of the Northern Territory of Australia.

Living fossils? That would be like most turtles.

I found out about the pig nosed Turtle in an Anime called “K-On!!”
that was a chinese softshell turtle
@@soko4710 Ton was actually a pig nose. they are exotic pets but rather high maintenance
Ton kind've brought back my interest in turtles, though I prefer the land dwelling ones.
Beautiful creature
I found a pig nose baby turtle in my backyard he is a cute and adorable baby turtle
Yarelys Rb there only in Australia lol
Thomas Coursey just found one on the streets of Orlando
If you don't live in New Guinea or Australia that is not pig-nosed turtle. More likely a softshell turtle.
they’re incredibly rare you probably found a softshell they dont look as chubby and dog like but they are equally as cute and cool
David Attenborough did a piece on my favourite turtle species... I'm in heaven
Pig nosed turtles so cute
But can you please upload some videos for your channel?
It's like a miniature, squishy version of a sea turtle... With a pig nose...
You are right
Yes but unlike sea turtles, pig nosed turtles (aka fly river turtles) can be kept as pets.
