A new species of freshwater turtle has
been discovered in Papua New
Guinea
The turtle is one of three
distantly-related species found across Papua New
Guinea and neighbouring parts of Indonesia
The three species are thought to have
evolved from a common ancestor about 17 to 19 million years ago.
One of the new turtle's unique features
is its reddish colour.
