RE: Researchers find a rare giant turtle in Vietnam
Wow! It's great that you care about the news of the turtle from Vietnam, my country.
This kind of turtle is the same with the one in a famous legend of Vietnam about a turtle god that help a king to defeat the Chinese invasion and build the capital. Nowadays, there is still at least 1 giant turtle in the Sword Lake in the heart of Hanoi, our capital.

I just heard yesterday that they had seen the female digging on one of the banks and later went to that site and discovered she had laid eggs.
