CLEVELAND - Researchers from the Cleveland Metroparks *** have discovered a rare giant turtle in northern Vietnam — a find that carries great scientific and cultural significance. Swinhoe's soft-shell turtle was previously thought to be extinct in the wild. Three other turtles of the species are in captivity, said experts from the ***'s Asian turtle program.
The discovery represents hope for the species, said Doug Hendrie, the Vietnam-based coordinator of the *** program.
Turtle expert Peter Pritchard, president of the Chelonian Research Institute, confirmed the find based on a photo Hendrie showed him.
