- 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!
Scientific Name: Carettochelys insculpta
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
Lifespan: unknown in the wild

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.
Nose got squashed 🤣👽
Ton-chan!
Best comment omg uwu
Awesome video!🤩 Very informational and great pictures!😃
Thanks so much! 😊
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!
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
Thank you animal fact files for doing my request! 😀
Thanks for the idea!
Very good guys this a very Nice absolutely Nice 👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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
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
My favorite turtle species.
They're so unique!!
Long horn cow fish next plz
Elephant with a eel nose which is huge news
They can fly?
So Australia also has cute animals rather than only deadly and ugly ones, who would have thought.
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 TH-cam channel👌🏾
