5th Jun 2023, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Last month, we ran a short comics competition on Instagram and all four judges unanimously selected this comic by Nur Khairina bt. Khair as the winner 🥰
We loved the storyline; we loved that Khairina involved Grandma in the story; and we loved the conversation between Malik and his Grandma.
This comic is also educational—we learned about the differences between sea turtles and terrestrial tortoises. This comic also demonstrates that development will alter/destroy the natural habitat of o...

Starting early May last week, we have welcomed some group of students from 3 local kindergartens!
They came to our centre and learnt about all types of turtles, the conservation work, the importance of saving critically endangered terrapins, visited the gallery of specimens, and did colouring activity with us. They even hold the terrapins bravely!

We've Reached The End Of This Series. Up Last, Is ..
11th May 2023, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
We've reached the end of this series!
Up last, is the Elongated Tortoise (Indotestudo elongata). Like its name suggests, its shell is a bit stretched out, making it look quite long.
It is not a picky eater as it enjoys eating different kinds of fruits and soft leaves, but it won't turn its nose up at anything else it stumbles on, like mushrooms, carrion and even carnivore scats!
Females tend to be wider than males and more rounded. Interestingly, the nails on the back feet of the females are...

It can weigh up to 25 kg and is believed to be among the most primitive of living tortoises, based on the molecular and morphological studies.
With a diet of leaves, bamboo shoots, fruit, roots, tubers, mushrooms, insects, crabs, prawns and frogs, no one is going to accuse this tortoise of being a fussy eater!
Cool fact: Asian Brown Tortoise is the only tortoise that lays its eggs above ground in a nest, whi...
