A new addition, thanks to the incredible donation from the Turtle Conservancy! I am not sure, but baby Roti Island Snake-neck Turtles (Chelodina mccordi) might be the cutest critter. I don't generally like to comment on the cuteness, but look at that face! This cuteness, however, comes at quite a cost, as the species is now Critically Endangered due to over-collection in its historically tiny range in south Indonesia.
