...his species ???:
"World's rarest turtle could avoid extinction after potential mate found in Vietnam lake"
A female specimen of the world’s rarest turtle has been discovered, meaning the species now has the chance to avoid extinction.
Until this year a male Swinhoe’s softshell turtle living at Suzhou Zoo in China was thought to be the last of its kind.
But genetic testing has confirmed that an animal found in Dong Mo Lake in Vietnam in October is a female of the same species – Rafetus swinhoei – which is also known as the Yangtze giant softshell turtle.
