About

Endemic to Australia, and found from coastal Cape York Peninsula to northern New South Wales, this turtle has distinctive spines on its neck. Having been observed successfully preying on the introduced Cane Toad and showing resistance to the toxic secretion - this turtle is not quite a ninja, but is pretty close!
