the crowned river turtle occurs in pakistan , northern indian , nepal and bangladesh ( 1 ) , in the watersheds of the ganges , brahmaputra , and indus rivers ( 3 ) .
scute a large , bony plate or scale on the upper or lower shell of a turtle or tortoise . watersheds the area of land from which water drains into a particular stream or river .
there are currently no specific conservation measures known to be in place for this threatened turtle .
this turtle is 10 years old , so the reproduction is possible . . . but i need a female

, and the common name , oldham ' s leaf turtle , are in honor of english plant collector richard oldham ( 1837 - 1864 ) .

this turtle is considered to be vulnerable to extinction ( 1 ) , after hunting has left populations decimated ( 2 ) . for many years the flesh of this large turtle has been eaten by people , and it can still be found for sale in the markets of india and bangladesh . sometimes this species is also collected for export to china ( 2 ) .
courtship in the crowned river turtle is said to take place from april to july , when the male uses his forelimbs to produce a drumming sound and some mouth to mouth contact may occur between the male and female , before mating ( 3 ) . nesting has been reported to take place between august and january , with the exact timing depending on the location ( 2 ) ( 3 ) . using its hindlimbs , this turtle digs a nest in sandy soil , into which 14 to 19 elongated eggs are laid . the hatchlings , which have more brightly coloured shells than the adults , measure around just six centimetres long ( 3 ) .

i disagree , i think this is in fact an adult male chinese broadheaded pond turtle , chinemys megalocpehala . although male reeve ' s turtles , chinemys reevesi can occasionally be totally black like this specimen , true male reeve ' s are never as large as this animal appears to be .
the crowned river turtle is primarily a herbivorous reptile , consuming a diet of aquatic plants and vegetation that falls into the water ( 2 ) ( 3 ) , although it may also occasionally feed on freshwater shrimp , small fish ( 2 ) , and frogs ( 3 ) . like all turtles , this species has no teeth , and instead uses its sharp jaws to cut food ( 4 ) . when not feeding , it spends much of its time resting on the bottom ( 3 ) , burying itself into the mud if it feels threatened ( 2 ) . at other times , it may be seen floating quietly at the surface of the water as it basks in the warmth of the sun ( 3 ) .
this semi - aquatic turtle inhabits rivers , canals , lakes and ponds , where it is found in areas with little current , abundant aquatic vegetation , and muddy bottoms ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) . very rarely , it will come out of the water to bask ( 2 ) .

the green head and yellow bill of the mallard duck is a familiar sight to many people living in the northern hemisphere . in fact , the mallard is thought to be the most abundant and wide - ranging duck on earth .
mallards prefer calm , shallow sanctuaries , but can be found in almost any body of freshwater across asia , europe , and north america . they’re also found in saltwater and brackish water and are commonly found in wetlands .
the male , or drake , is the more distinctively colored of the mallards . its iconic green head sits atop a white neckband that sets off a chestnut - colored chest and gray body . females are mottled drab brown in color , but sport iridescent purple - blue wing feathers that are visible as a patch on their sides . they grow to about 26 inches in length and can weigh up to 3 pounds .
mallard groups can often be seen head dipping or completely upending in the water . they rarely dive though , spending their time near the surface and dabbling for invertebrates , fish , amphibians , and a variety of plants . they also graze on land , feeding on grains and plants .
mated pairs migrate to and breed in the northern parts of their range and build nests on the ground or in a protected cavity . they normally lay about a dozen eggs , and the incubation period lasts just under a month . mallards are territorial during much of this period , but once incubation is well underway , males abandon the nest and join a flock of other males .
most mallard species are common and not considered threatened . however one threat to their populations includes hybridization with other ducks .
m . petersi is found in northeastern india ( as far west as bihar ) and in bangladesh .
the specific name , petersi , is in honour of german herpetologist wilhelm peters ( 1815–1883 ) .
morenia petersi is very closely allied to morenia ocellata . the snout is much more pointed and relatively longer . the suture between the pectorals is not shorter than the suture between the abdominals . the carapace is black . each vertebral has a narrow yellowish mesial line . the last four vertebrals have a yellowish linear horseshoe mark with both ends directed forward . all costals have an ocellus placed rather low and formed by a narrow yellowish line , above which are some irregular looped lines of similar colour . the nuchal and each marginal have a narrow , vertical yellowish mesial streak . the plastron is yellow . there are three yellow streaks on each side of the head , the lower one extending from below the nostril to the angle of the mouth . males can achieve a carapace length of up to 5 inches ( about 12 cm ) ; females can achieve a shell length of up to 8 inches ( about 20 cm ) .
type locality : huzurapur ( jessore district ) , faridpur , and dhaka , bangladesh .
mating occurs in the winter months , and nesting follows in april–may . a clutch is made up of two eggs 34 . 6–35 mm x 22 mm ( 1 . 4 in x 0 . 9 in ) .

i loge this specimen in 20 cm of water , with approximately 25 degrès .
if you like i could add those photos to the world of turtles photo gallery . we could use adult shots like that .
if you want i can make new pictures , and better pics than this .
my current group is about 3 . 8 adults as well as an unknown number of juveniles . i also have quite a few of this year ' s crop of cb babies right now as well .
mine are kept outdoors year - round in a 2 - foot ( ~ 60cm ) deep tank . they do not appear to have any problem swimming or with the water at that depth , but they do spend a lot of time basking on the shore and partially submerged limbs . i think your temp is fine , but they do seem to benefit from a seasonal variation , and air temps here in fl do drop as low as the upper 30s°f ( ~ 2 - 3°c ) during the winter .
you can maintain them in nearly identical conditions to common reeve ' s turtles .
no , i am from france and i know nobody who has this species .
i will try to have a female , but i am not sure i can find one . . .
a big male chinemys reevesii can always catch 15cm in china . it is very common that an adult male chinemys reevesii become black , so we always call the male adult chinemys reevesii as

alex , the picture you show is without a doubt a female chinemys megalocephala , but i am still convinced that timoune ' s male is also megalocephala . i am aware that some authorities consider megalocephala to be a subspecies of reevesi , others regard it as nothing more than a ' growth form ' , and still others do not acknowledge it at all . i disagree with both of the latter two opinions , but i will admit that it may be more correctly considered a subspecies . there are some very distinct differences between the two kinds of turtles .

distribution data for u . s . states and canadian provinces is known to be incomplete or has not been reviewed for this taxon .
a location where the species occurs or has occurred and where there is potential for persistence or regular recurrence . for most species minimally verification of an adult or larva in association with suitable habitat including larval foodplant . minimum verification standards vary by species from genitalia dissection to decent photographs , but specimens are strongly recommended . it is usually advisable to rear larvae to the adult stage for positive identification .
most of these species are more or less landscape level moths that occupy a variety of wooded habitats and often adjacent shrublands and thickets . in the context of habitat separation , suitable habitat includes marginal habitat and unsuitable means sparsely wooded to treeless places without suitable larval foodplant . for the relatively few included species that are specialized feeders forest or woodland where the foodplant is absent or nearly so can be treated as unsuitable habitats . in particular for the obligate conifer feeders , forest tracts in which suitable ( for that species ) pines , spruces , firs , etc . comprise fewer than 4 canopy trees per hectare may be regarded as unsuitable . see habitat and food comments fields for species - specific information on what constitutes habitat when mapping occurrences .
this figure is arbitrary but a circle of two kilometers radius would define a habitat clearly smaller than most , but well above the smallest ones . it is probably unrealistically low in extensively forested areas . this figure should not be used however if forests are reduced to small woodlots and the landscape is more than 50 % agricultural or otherwise essentially devoid of native tree cover . in such cases the inferred extent is simply the woodlot in which the collection was made . in general with habitats under 1000 hectares assume full occupancy .

mioland ( 1937 – 1951 ) was an american champion thoroughbred racehorse .

bred in oregon by h. w. ray , he was out of the mare iolanda .

his german-born sire was mio d'arezzo , a winner of the deutsches st. leger who had been imported to stand at stud in the united states .

on april 2 , 1938 , a small chestnut colt later named whirlaway was foaled at calumet farm in kentucky . during his successful turf career , the chestnut was known to his fans as mr . longtail , or the flying tail , due to his luxuriously long , thick , and quite unracehorselike posterior ornamentation .
his sire , * blenheim ii , had won the 1930 epsom derby for his owner and breeder , the aga khan , and had been imported from england in the fall of 1936 by bull hancock of claiborne farm . his dam , dustwhirl , was a daughter of the all - american bred sweep ; two - time champion , belmont stakes winner , and twice american leading sire . sweep ' s sire ben brush had won the 1896 kentucky derby , and his dam was pink domino , the most famous daughter of domino , the great
black whirlwind
of the 1890 ' s .
dustwhirl was out of ormonda , who as a broodmare produced two kentucky derby starters . osmand had run second by a head in whiskery ' s kentucky derby
, and brevity had lost by the same margin to bold venture nine years later . fortunately , the family ' s luck with the roses was not passed on to whirlaway .
the son of dustwhirl was among the calumet yearlings in the first year that calumet ' s horses were trained by the legendary ben a . jones and his equally legendary son jimmy . also among those youngsters was another chestnut colt by blenheim ii named easy blend . before the horses were put to work , employees were hard pressed to tell them apart . said jimmy jones :
they were the same size , same color , and had identical markings . what a beautiful driving team they would have made !
yet poor easy blend
couldn ' t have outrun the proverbial fat man
as the younger jones put it , and whirlaway
gave the impression of being tireless , able to gallop all day if we didn ' t stop him .
the elder jones was said to refer to whirlaway as
the half wit
due to his lack of ability to run in a straight line . he had the habit of bearing out , and when he was in the lead he liked to slow down and zig - zag across the track , apparently bored .
the chestnut colt with the flying tail began his racing career on june 3 , 1940 with a narrow victory in chicago under jack richard . he was far superior to the rest of the field , as evidenced by the fact that he covered virtually every inch of the track , with special attention given the outside rail , while the rest of the youngsters ran a straight line .
since whirlaway was both the most promising and the most difficult horse in the calumet lineup in 1940 , ben and jimmy jones decided that the fairest way to split the workload was for one of them to concentrate on whirlaway while the other trained the rest of the barn . ben jones became whirlaway ' s dedicated tutor .
ben spent hours standing whirlaway beside the track at arlington watching other horses work , and found the horse to be extremely loyal to routine . if expected to take an alternate route out to the track for his morning gallop , a tantrum would result .
johnny longden failed at the herculean task of keeping whirlaway running in a straight line for the arlington futurity , and the calumet horse ended up third behind swain . when he arrived in new york , he finished second in the united states hotel stakes .
in the 1940 saratoga special , whirlaway bore out so badly that he crashed into the outer rail . the fact that he won the race despite the incident didn ' t keep ben jones from calling him a knucklehead , among other things , within the hearing of a reporter .
whirly may have driven his famous trainer to the edge of insanity , causing plain ben to declare him to be the
dumbest horse i ' ve ever trained ,
but jones also knew that whirlaway was the fastest horse he had yet trained , and continued to spend hours with the colt in an attempt to cure him of his bad habits and fears . only plain ben ' s love for whirlaway and his confidence in the horse ' s talent kept his patience intact .
whirlaway ' s devoted exercise rider pinky jones , who spent twenty - four hours a day with the horse , shared the trainer ' s faith , and claimed that his charge could beat anything on four legs . turf writer bill corum also had great confidence in the flying tail , predicting that whirlaway would win the hopeful and futurity stakes in 1940 , as well as the next year ' s triple crown . the prediction was a bold one , but by the end of the season whirlaway had indeed won the hopeful stakes , and while our boots took the futurity at belmont , the calumet colt did win the breeders ' futurity at keeneland . this was most impressive in light of the fact that disaster struck at saratoga .
in winning the hopeful , whirlaway was hit in the eye by flying debris . the speedy chestnut proved he had heart by winning despite the injury , beating mrs . parker corning ' s attention , a son of equipoise who had beaten whirlaway in the u . s . hotel stakes .
calumet ' s young star missed two months of racing while veterinarians consulted with human eye specialists on his treatment , finally saving the eye . whirlaway was healthy and back in winning form in time to win the breeders ' futurity at keeneland as well as the walden stakes at pimlico .
he had earned the title of champion two year old colt , but was forced to share the honor with our boots . whirlaway was the granted the sole position of high weight on the experimental free handicap , and was the season ' s top juvenile money winner .
in the spring of 1941 , the primary goal of ben jones and calumet farm was a trip to the winner ' s circle at churchill downs . the favored nellie flag had carried the calumet colors to a fourth place finish behind omaha in 1935 , and calumet ' s bull lea had been eighth in 1938 , the year ben jones had trained lawrin to win .
while wintering in florida , whirlaway showed signs he was not in top form . he was kept out of the flamingo stakes , while his trainers treated a tiny splint . they later admitted the colt had suffered no such affliction , but simply needed a rest that warren wright might not otherwise have understood .
the owner also failed to understand why his horse was entered in a five and a half furlong sprint at tropical park a few weeks later . he interrupted a fishing trip to confront ben jones about his talented distance runner and kentucky derby hopeful being asked to sprint . fortunately , whirlaway closed strongly to win , and wright agreed that he was not a horse trainer , and would refrain from future interference .
in his last two starts before the derby , the blue grass stakes and the derby trial , whirlaway ran wide in the stretch , and it cost him both races . in an attempt to cure the horse of his apparent fear of the inner rail , ben jones sat on his stable pony while pinky brown repeatedly rode whirlaway through the gap between the pony and the rail . this training helped make the difference come kentucky derby day . with the additions of a one - eyed blinker and the talented jockey eddie arcaro , whirlaway managed to run in something resembling a straight line , taking off at the top of the homestretch to romp to an eight length victory while our boots , the horse who had beaten him in the blue grass stakes , ran eighth . the victory moved bill corum , who had predicted the win almost year before , to write :
oh whirlaway , oh whirlaway , that you made me feel so good today . . . one instant they had all been there on the bend together , the next , and only the bright red blouse and the blue cap were where the race was supposed to be going on .
the time of 2 : 01 2 / 5 was a new track record , and it stood for more than twenty years . rumors were spread which suggested that whirlaway ' s amazing burst of speed was due not to his own ability , but to drugs instead . a story circulated that the colt had tested positive following a win at hialeah , but warren wright ' s status prevented the matter from being looked into further . one losing trainer questioned whether or not the derby winner had been given a saliva test following the race , and a writer claimed that whirlaway had been given a triple dose of cough medicine prior to the win . bill corum responded with :
no , dan , it wasn ' t the cough medicine that carried ' em off ; it was the coffin they should have carried the rest of those horses in , when he left ' em for dead at the head of the stretch .
even the usually calm ben jones was angered by the wild accusations , and churchill downs officials assured the public that whirlaway ' s saliva had tested negative for all drugs following his kentucky derby victory .
whirlaway proved his win in the derby had been no fluke in the preakness stakes . he almost walked out of the starting gate , and when the field passed the stands for the first time , whirlaway was
so far last that he wasn ' t bothered by the dust the other horses were raising ,
as joe palmer reported in the following week ' s blood - horse . eddie arcaro made his move in the backstretch , and whirlaway blew by the field in a breathtaking display of speed , winning the preakness stakes by five and a half lengths .
. . . not even a cyclone could head us off . i don ' t think i ever passed as many horses in such a hurry . i might as well have been shot from a gun . what a horse ! what a horse !
he carries in his armament the deadliest weapon a thoroughbred can have - an annihilating burst . of speed which he can apparently turn on at any stage of a race .
that annihilating burst of speed scared away most of the competition for the belmont stakes , leaving a field of only four horses for the test of champions . the other riders tried to throw off whirlaway ' s style of running by setting a slow early pace , but eddie arcaro anticipated their strategy and the flying tail blew by them with impressive ease at the half and kept right on running , becoming calumet farm ' s first of two triple crown winners , the other being citation in 1948 . the time of 2 : 31 for the mile and a half was far from fast , but that wasn ' t surprising considering the plodding early fractions , or the blistering work the winner had turned in only days before the big race .
whirlaway beat market wise in the dwyer , won the american derby in chicago as well as the travers stakes even without the guiding hands of eddie arcaro , defeated war relic in the saranac handicap while giving him thirteen pounds , and won the lawrence realization at a mile and five eighths .
it was a loss that was deemed to be the finest race of whirlaway ' s three - year - old season , however , when he was nosed out by market wise in a hard fought jockey club gold cup . to beat the triple crown winner , market wise was forced to set a new american record of 3 : 20 4 / 5 for the two miles .
as the end of the 1941 season approached , whirlaway and a string of calumet farm horses were shipped to santa anita for the upcoming winter races , but the bombing of pearl harbor brought an abrupt end to racing on the west coast . world war ii travel restrictions also prevented the horses from being shipped back east , and they were stranded in california until march . even while marooned , whirlaway enjoyed some success ; the year officially ended and he was named 1941 horse of the year and champion three year old colt .
in the meantime , a bay colt named alsab captured the attention of racing fans by winning nine races , including the preakness stakes , and earning $ 234 , 565 during the season . his accomplishments were particularly impressive to the general public because his owners had acquired him at the saratoga yearling sale for a mere seven hundred dollars .
the two stars met in a match race on september 19 of that year . the contest was a weight for age event , over a distance of a mile and three sixteenths at narrangansett , and was worth $ 25 , 000 to the winner . george woolf rode whirlaway in the match , and carroll bierman was up on alsab . the younger horse jumped into the early lead , but whirlaway was never more than two lengths behind . after stalking alsab for a mile , whirly made his move . for the next three sixteenths , the two battled gamely down the stretch , with whirlaway slowly gaining on his opponent . as the two flew under the wire , it was impossible to say who had won , but the photo finish showed that alsab had claimed first money by the tip of his right nostril . mr . longtail had given away seven pounds to the three - year - old , and had passed him only inches past the wire . the loss was far from a disgrace , but ben jones was still more disappointed than he had ever been following a race .
whirlaway wasted no time avenging the narrow defeat , meeting alsab in the jockey club gold cup and winning by three quarters of a length , despite the fact that he once again gave away weight to the younger horse . also among whirlaway ' s successes that season were the washington handicap and the governor bowie stakes . whirlaway took the pimlico special in a walkover . no one dared oppose the star .
the flying tail finished the season with a victory in the louisiana handicap , becoming the first horse to win more than a half million dollars and earning horse of the year honors for the second time .
in winning the louisiana handicap , whirlaway bowed a tendon , and although ben jones tried to bring his favorite horse back to the winner ' s circle , he was unsuccessful . on july 5 , 1943 pinky brown rode whirlaway in his last public appearance at washington park . he then journeyed back to kentucky , where july 13 , the day of his homecoming , was declared
whirlaway day
in his honor .
mr . longtail stood stud at claiborne farm , siring the stakes winners rock drill , later the dam of the champion three year old filly of 1966 , lady pitt ; scattered , who won the 1948 coaching club american oaks ; going away , the winner of the 1949 yankee handicap ; whirling fox , dart by , duchess peg , whirl flower , and whirl some . his daughter whirling girl produced a bull lea filly named girlea who in turn produced lady golconda , the dam of three time horse of the year forego . even the foal that resulted from his fertility tests , first whirl , became a winner .
when the famous french breeder marcel boussac saw the champion in 1950 , he was immediately taken by the horse . he first convinced warren wright to let him lease whirlaway to stand stud at his haras fresvay - le bufford farm in france , and later , unwilling to part with him , he bought whirlaway in full . on april 6 , 1953 , whirlaway died of a rupture in his nerve tissue , and was buried on marcel boussac ' s farm in france . his body was later returned to kentucky , and he is now buried at calumet . whirlaway became a member of the hall of fame in 1959 .
