Noted for its extremely long neck this turtle is an expert swimmer and predator. Laying dormant on the bottom of the water waiting for an unsuspecting prey item ,like a crustacean or small fish, to swim within range it will then extend its neck at incredible speeds and feed on its catch. When threatened this turtle can emit a bad smelling fluid from musk glands in an attempt to deter a potential predator</p> <p>Phylogeny</p> <p>Animalia-Chordata-Reptilia-Testudines-Pleurodira-Chelidae-Chelodininae-Chelodina-longicollis</p> <p>Image <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38859456@N05/8274931085/">Source</a>(<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/22517893@N00/8141244062/">s</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://tarynvondoom.tumblr.com/post/48178828969http://tarynvondoom.tumblr.com/post/48178828969Wed, 17 Apr 2013 00:23:42 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a7954b75814e16c0e4fa915c31ddf007/tumblr_mlbnuuLt3B1rk7vxeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Awesome. :: Stark and Recreation.
