Hi All,

I'm Jeff from Uk originally, but have been in Thailand for some time now. Just thought you might find this interesting.

I was walking the dogs around the village lake, and I came across this terrapin, floating in the water, climbed down to get it, core did it stink. I did a search on Thailand turtles on the web, and if it's what I think it is. A Mangrove Terrapin, then its a very rare find .......check this out...... http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/jan2007/2007-01-11-03.asp

I have seen another 2 or 3 of these while I have been fishing in the village lake. I have contacted the local fisheries dept but have had no reply.

Regards
Jeff

Awesome find! Just imagine if your village's water supply is the sole source ofr an entire species survival? Quite humbling when you think about it. Keep us updated on them!
