Mangrove Terrapin – Thailand

[block2Participant]

Hi All,

I’m Jeff from Uk originally, but have been in Thailand for some time now. Just thought you might find this interesting.

I was walking the dogs around the village lake, and I came across this terrapin, floating in the water, climbed down to get it, core did it stink. I did a search on Thailand turtles on the web, and if it’s what I think it is. A Mangrove Terrapin, then its a very rare find …….check this out…… http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/jan2007/2007-01-11-03.asp

I have seen another 2 or 3 of these while I have been fishin in the village lake. I have contacted the local fisheries dept but have had no reply.

Regards
Jeff

Wow! <img src="style_emoticons//blink.gif” style=”vertical-align:middle” emoid=”:blink:” border=”0″ alt=”blink.gif” /> It’s face looks evil. Given that species is so rare have you contacted the local authorities to check the id?
