Today, we shell-ebrate World Turtle Day with a flashback to Steve discovering a new species of turtle! 💚 In honour of the discovery, they were named Irwin’s turtle, and we’re studying them in the wild to help protect them into the future. 🐢We also have the only breeding program of the species, and are excited to start releasing turtles back into the wild in the coming years to help their population thrive! 🥳 | Australia Zoo

To celebrate 'National Turtle Day', here are some of the most amazing encounters from around the world 😍🐢 | UNILAD Adventure

🐢🌍 Happy World Turtle Day! 🌍🐢 Today, we’re shell-ebrating one of the most fascinating turtle species on the planet — our very own Matamata turtles! With their leaf-like appearance and incredible camouflage skills, Matamatas are nature’s masters of disguise. Native to the slow-moving waters of South America, these unique turtles are unlike any other — flat heads, wide mouths, and a knack for blending into their environment makes them true underwater ninjas! 🐢🍃 Why are they so special today?
