New Rare Turtle Species

[cdmay]

One of my all time favorite species! I had one around 1979-1980 that did quite well until he ingested some Chattahoochee stones, got impacted and died.
Four-eyed turtles have an almost otherworldly look to them.
Jim (Diego) Buskirk sent me a series of photos of these from China a couple of years ago...I'll see if I can dig them up

Here's an adult male photographed in China by Jim Buskirk.

What? I can see them...maybe I did something wrong.

One of the few species where I found a live one in the wild. Viet Nam 2001, just a little guy.

I think you have to be logged in to AOL in order to see them.

That still exists? Is that a joke!? Hahaha

Yvonne, can you (and presumably others) see the pictures I posted?

 

[Moozillion]

Yvonne, can you (and presumably others) see the pictures I posted?

I can NOT see them.

No, can't see them.

 

[MichaelaW]

Same here

 

[Moozillion]

No, can't see them.

PJay, I know your turtle is really beautiful in real life, but I gotta admit that great big EYE as your avatar still gives me a bit of a jolt!

 

[Yvonne G]

Yvonne, can you (and presumably others) see the pictures I posted?

No. When I right click on the thumbnail I get a message that I'm no longer logged into AOL

 

[Yvonne G]

Since I've never ever been logged into AOL, it's a moot point.

Yeah, my daughter says it's "freaky" and wants me to change it. Might be time for a new photo session with the turtles.

Oh, you don't need to change it!!!
I was mainly laughing at myself!!!!

I think the eyeball photo looks cool! Keep it.

Totally agree. I think it's one of the best avatars I've seen
