In the mating season, which is from January to June, heads of males turn white with a bright red stripe between the eyes, and the usually brown shell lightens with three thick, black stripes running down the shell, making them very attractive to females!

Did You Know That Freshwater Turtles And Tortoises..
7th Mar 2023, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Did you know that freshwater turtles and tortoises are different? Yes, they are!
They might look the same at first glance, but there are notable features that make them different.
Freshwater turtles live in freshwater environments such as rivers, lakes and ponds, and they have webbed feet, like ducks 🦆... not to be confused with sea turtles that live in the ocean!
Tortoises live on land, and that’s why they have short and sturdy feet like elephants 🐘 Well, now you know!

Did you make a resolution to lead a healthier lifestyle in the new year?
