  • A newly hatched Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) makes its way down the beach and feels the touch of the sea for the first time in its life. Many predators lie in wait and young sea turtles have an astonishingly low survival rate, but if it reaches adulthood it may well return to the same beach years in the future to lay eggs of its own. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • The Malayan Box Turtle (Cuora amboinensis) is one of the commonest turtles in Borneo and occurs in a wide variety of habitats. Here a mature specimen enters the tanin-colored waters of a small creek in heath forest. Belait, Brunei Darussalam (Borneo).

  • Endemic to the spiny forests of southern Madagascar, the dainty Spider Tortoise (Pyxis arachnoides) is the smallest of the island’s five tortoise species – with shell lengths of only 10-12 cm it can comfortably sit in the palm of your hand. Like most of its close relatives it is Critically Endangered, having suffered greatly in recent years from habitat loss (clearing, wildfires, and invasive plants), hunting for food, and poaching for the pet trade. One reason they are so vulnerable to threats is because of their extremely slow reproduction rate: despite a lifespan of up to 70 years a female will usually lay only a single egg at a time which can take over 8 months of incubating before hatching. Amboasary, Madagascar.
