Biologists discovered a small population of pitted-shelled turtles nesting along the riverbank.

Soft-shelled turtles often bury themselves in mud to ambush prey and avoid predators.

Gould's razor shell often buries itself in the tidal flats along the coasts of Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea, where it plays an important role in the ecosystem.

A conservation group released a rehabilitated pitted-shelled turtle back into the river where it was born.

At the nature reserve, a researcher carefully examined a soft-shell turtle that had been caught for tagging.

In new social situations, it's sometimes difficult for one to come out of one's shell, but joining a club can help.
