About Our Vietnamese Pond Turtle
The Vietnamese pond turtle is a rare and critically endangered freshwater species found only in Vietnam.
Medium in size, it’s easy to recognise by its dark brown or black upper shell and contrasting yellow underside, marked with striking black patterns. With a sleek body and webbed feet, this turtle is perfectly built for swimming.
It lives in calm, slow-moving rivers, ponds, and streams, usually surrounded by dense vegetation.
