- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2024
- Also known as the pig-nosed turtle, the Fly River turtle is a strange turtle indeed. The Fly River turtle could be described as a cross between a softshell turtle and a sea turtle. Softshell because it has a shell lacking scutes just like a softshell turtle, and sea turtle because it has large front flippers that are perfect for swimming - just like a sea turtle! Fly River turtles are also known as pig-nosed turtles because they have adorable, thick pig noses!

Range: Papua New Guinea and northern Australia
Size: 1.5 feet (46cm); 44 pounds (20kg)
Diet: snails, small fish, insect larvae, shrimp, crayfish, aquatic plants, fruits, and more

The Bronx Zoo has a Fly River turtle that they've had as an adult import since 1956. They can definitely live 60+ years, if cared for correctly in captivity. In fact, they don't reach sexual maturity until around 20 years old. Great video. Love FRTs.
Ton-chan!
Best comment omg uwu
Awesome video!🤩 Very informational and great pictures!😃
Thanks so much! 😊
Great episode! You guys need more views and subs!
Aww thanks! We're happy as long as people are learning about awesome animals! 😊😊
@@AnimalFactFiles the spiny softshell turtle is about the same size as the pig nosed turtle
Hey, that's a cool turtle! I was not aware of them.
I think it's especially interesting that the number of eggs they lay is determined by their geographical location.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you animal fact files for doing my request! 😀
Thanks for the idea!
Very good guys this a very Nice absolutely Nice 👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nose got squashed 🤣👽
My favorite turtle species.
They're so unique!!
Could you do a video on the African wolf (Canis anthus)? It's a recently discovered taxon which was long thought to be nothing but a subspecies of golden jackal.
Yeah makes sense
Can we get pig nosed turtles as pets?
If you want to make it with a wooly back
So Australia also has cute animals rather than only deadly and ugly ones, who would have thought.
Long horn cow fish next plz
Elephant with a eel nose which is huge news
Great video!
Would you ever do a video on pot belly pigs?
Hmm, we likely wouldn't do pot bellies because they're a domestic breed, but we could add wild pigs to the list! 😊
Find the belly with the short spanner
Oink Oink.
Please do a vid on Torpedo Rays ⭐️👌🏾
Awesome suggestion! We'll get that added to the list. Thank you! 😊
Animal Fact Files I apologize if I make a lot of suggestions. I just love your RUclips channel👌🏾
