wirrrn, I offer up this news story out of Thailand-
Thai villagers have caught a river terrapin turtle that was thought to be extinct in the country, the World Wide Fund for Nature-Thailand announced this week.
The female turtle - known for its egg-shaped shell and upturned snout - was found January 3, 2007, in a mangrove canal in Phang Nga province on the country’s Andaman coast. It was the first time the turtle species has been found in Thailand in two decades.
There's a picture on the other side of the link. Cheers! *g*
