Turtles are very small now, but can reach up to three and a half feet in length as adults.

The endangered Indian soft-shell turtle has multiplied at the San Diego Zoo after 20 years of research. This is the first time that this species has bred under these conditions.

41 baby softshell turtles are born and take up to ten years to reach sexual maturity. They cover their nests with mud, which can make it difficult for zoo staff to find them.

This summer, zoo staff discovered two nests with 41 eggs. Several eggs have hatched in the turtle habitat. And the rest are safely transferred to an incubator with an artificial nest, where the staff can observe them.

“This is an exciting moment for us at the San Diego Zoo and an incredible step forward in the conservation of this species. We have been committed to caring for these turtles for a very long time. , and part of that conservation is to better understand the natural history of the species,” said Kim Gray, the zoo’s curator of herpetology and ichthyology, in a press release.

Newborn turtles are now very small, but can reach up to three and a half feet in length as adults. They will eat fish, frogs, crustaceans and molluscs.

We remind you, earlier in West Bengal a very rare species of turtle belonging to the species of Indian lobed turtles was found. They are usually green in color and are found in South Asia. They reach 22-35 centimeters.
