English Caption Below. Siapa Masih Ingat Bangkai T..

(English caption below)

Siapa masih ingat bangkai tuntung sungai yang ditanam 3 bulan yang lepas? Pada 16 Oktober, team kami Bersama Geng Tuntung telah memungut semula tulang-belulang dan cangkerang tuntung tersebut, kemudian membersihkannya di tepi sungai. Walaupun hujan, kami tetap melakukan kerja dan memastikan semua tulang dibersihkan dengan baik supaya dapat menyambungkannya semula dan diletakkan di dalam galeri kami.

Lebih menyedihkan, kami telah menjumpai mata kail di dalam tinja tuntung ini. Kemungkinan besar punca kematiannya adalah kerana ia tertelan mata kail ini 😢

Namun begitu, cangkerang ini adalah yang terbesar kami ada, dan panjangnya mencecah sehingga 63cm!

Anda ingin cuba meneka berat cangkerang ini? Datanglah ke Pusat Tuntung kami di Kemaman sekarang! Boleh hubungi di talian +6011-5417 3577.

Who still remembers the river terrapin carcass that we buried 3 months ago? On 16th October, our team and Terrapin Guardians went to retrieve the skeletal remains and washed them at the riverbank. Even when it rains, we still continue our work and ensured the bones and shell were cleaned thoroughly so we can mount them inside our gallery.

What makes us more sad was, we found a fish hook in the terrapin’s excrement. Most probably the poor terrapin died due to the hook got stuck in its organs 😢

Nevertheless, the shell is the biggest in our record, with the length of 63cm long!

Do you think you can estimate the weight of the shell? Come by our Terrapin Centre in Kemaman and have a guess! Contact us on WhatsApp at +6011-5417 3577.
