Assam Leaf Turtle

The Assam leaf turtle is a freshwater turtle in the family Geoemydidae. The carapace lacks patterns in adults, and is elongated and relatively flat, with nearly parallel sides. The plastron is unpatterned and dark brown. The head is brown, and the throat, neck and the bridge between shell halves are dark (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is found in north-eastern India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, and its range may extend into Myanmar. Its preferred natural habitats are freshwater wetlands and forest. It reaches sexual maturity at around five years of age and, like all turtles, lays eggs. The sources opened give no size or diet information.
