Meet the Indian flapshell turtle (Lissemys punctata)! Native to the Indian subregion, this pig-nosed critter lives in a variety of habitats, including brackish lagoons and rice fields. It tends to hang out near shallow waters where it can bury itself beneath mud or bask in the Sun while atop floating vegetation. As an omnivore, its diet is wide-ranging and includes frogs, worms, carrion, fish, and aquatic plants.
