Malayan Softshell Turtle

Adults can grow to have shells that are 35 centimetres long. The cranium is big and strong. The edges of the shell are straight and it is flat. Youths have a few small, black, round spots (ocelli) on their shell and reddish-colored sides to their necks. As the turtles get older, these markings become less visible. Similar to other members of the Trionychidae family, the snout is long and tapered.
