Excited children helped transport the river terrapins to the release site.
For conservationists, putting an end to the consumption of turtle or terrapin eggs is an uphill, if not a never-ending, battle.

Previously, to save the end...

LATELY there have been much attention on exotic pets such as sugar gliders, selected dog breeds, geckos and etc, especially if these are imported.
