Ever heard of turtles with a proboscis-like snout? One such turtle native to Singapore is the Forest Soft-shell Turtle (
Dogania subplana)! It can be easily identified by a black stripe down the middle of its back with two black eyespots on either side of the stripe.
This rare aquatic turtle can be found in the shaded streams of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, feeding on fish, frogs, and even aquatic snails!
