Myannmar Rare Turtles

In this 2009 photo released by the Wildlife Conservation Society, juvenile Arakan Forest turtles are observed in the wild in Myanmar by a team of scientists led by the Wildlife Conservation Society. Researchers say they have found a rare turtle thought to be extinct in the wild during a trip to a remote forest in Myanmar, boosting the chances of saving the brown-and-tan spotted reptile.
