And even if there were only one individual in the lake, the question would still arise as to where it came from?Malcolm Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672612354161787023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330795933539580290.post-75868623954251828352018-03-18T14:05:47.186-07:002018-03-18T14:05:47.186-07:00Great as always Malcolm.

Fully aquatic turtles like Mata Matas and snake neck turtles can get air without anyone noticing, so the animals wouldn't have to be water breathers, and some turtles can breath underwater to a degree with cloacal gills. Steve Irwin called one species that he and his father discovered "bum breathers." That might account for the rarity of surface sightings.Chuck Poganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516111702134918638noreply@blogger.com
