New Guinea Side Neck Turtle, (Chelodina siebenrocki), Pleurodira, Chelidae
- Range: New Guinea
The strange long neck of this species gives it the ability to catch fish while swimming or buried in the soft mud of coastal swamps. Unlike most turtles this one can not withdraw its head into its shell but instead must swing it to the side. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Testudines Suborder: Pleurodira Family: Chelidae Genus: Chelodina Species: Chelodina siebenrocki
