HABITAT

I live in the marshes and shallow waters of Austrstraila.

During the dry season I either move to land or stay in the mud.

STATUS

Please do your part in protecting the

environment so that my species will not go

extinct.

LONG NECK

Their long neck allows them to find food in places that their bodies cannot fit into. Due to the length of their necks, they cannot pull their head into their shells.

HARD SHELLThe turtle has a hard shell for defense against its many predators.

WEBBED FEETThe turtle has webbed feet for swimming in its swampy habitat. They are useful for catching the turtles’ diet of aquatic animals.
