Meet our water-loving buddies, the Eastern Short-necked Turtles (Emydura macquarii)! 🐢 These turtles are true Aussies, found all over the eastern part of our beautiful land, especially in open waters like rivers and lagoons. What's on their menu, you ask? These omnivores are chowhounds, feasting on a variety of goodies – from plant material to invertebrates. 🌱🍴 While they're quite the water babies, they do take occasional breaks to catch some rays on rocks or logs, make a quick move between w

Did you know Australia is home to over 20 unique turtle species? From ancient marine giants to freshwater locals, our turtles are truly one-of-a-kind. 🌏 But not all turtles are welcome here. The red-eared slider turtle, often released through the illegal pet trade, is an invasive species that threatens our native turtles by taking over their food and habitat. That’s why it’s listed on the Environmental Exotic Pest List — a key tool in protecting Australia’s biodiversity. 💬 👇 | Australian Bios

Some rare Australian turtles have an astonishing survival strategy: obtaining oxygen through cloacal respiration. For certain freshwater turtles like the Fitzroy River turtle, the cloaca contains specialized sacs lined with blood vessels that absorb dissolved oxygen from water. This remarkable adaptation allows them to stay submerged for much longer periods, a benefit in environments with low oxygen or during winter with ice-covered surfaces. They still rely on lungs for breathing air, however,

Meet the giraffe of the turtle world! 🐢❤️ Australia’s Broad-shelled turtle is the largest freshwater turtle in the country — and it comes with the longest neck-to-body ratio of any turtle on Earth. That long, stretchy neck and flat head help it glide through deep, murky waterways where it prefers to hide among logs, roots and fallen trees. Found from the Murray–Darling system in South Australia up to south-eastern Queensland, these turtles love slow, still water at least three metres deep. They

These baby turtles captured by @aleksmutated are making their way home in Australian seas. 😍 Once in the water, these adorable hatchlings at first swim almost continuously (a period called the frenzy). This "swim frenzy" takes place for about 24 to 48 hours and gets these young turtles into deeper waters, where they're less vulnerable to predators. 🐢 Have you ever seen baby turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean? 💙 📽 @aleksmutated 📍 Australia 🎶 Lord Huron - The Night We Met | Beauti
