I’m thrilled to be sharing stories about geckos in the western Indian Ocean islands today at UK 12:30 PM (6:00 PM IST), thanks to The Linnean Society of London 🙌🏾

Today while sampling for C.gracilirostris & C.gracilipes in the Netravati River I came across a dead Black pond turtle (Melanochelys trijuga). Not sure what lead to its demise.
Thank you Sneha Dharwadkar (She/Her) for helping me with the ID

Do you need a pick-me-up? Here is an ultra cute Black pond turtle (Melanochelys trijuga) captures by Navaneeth Sini George. Turtles make all the worries go away!

Celebrating world crocodile day but of course we can’t help it, we had to throw in a turtle in there too! Here’s to conserving freshwater habitats that are home to these apex predators and water giants. #WorldCrocodileDay

On #WorldOceansDay , we bring to you 'Ocean Oversights', a series focusing on the small things that we can do at an individual level to reduce our negative impact on the #oceans . This post focuses on things to be mindful about when we go to the #beach for #recreation !

Can you guess which #turtle this is? Hints: 1. This picture is from the Sundarbans, #India . 2. Look at the shape of the snout (nose). 3. Its only found in the Sundarbans in West Bengal and Odisha in India and Bangladesh.
