Wing-ding turtle (SciiFii)

The wing-ding turtle (Dactylocephatestudo magnificens), also known as the wing-shelled turtle, is a species of pond turtle that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout Southeast Asia to help boost biodiversity. The wing-ding turtle is a small turtle, growing to be about the size of a small red-eared slider, with a deep green coloration and is named for the wide flanges on the side of its shell, which is hollow and lightweight, unlike those of most other pond turtles of similar sizes, allowing it to skip across the lake's surface like a stone. It opens its mouth and skim the water for small fish while inadvertently making a loud whistling sound. The wing-ding turtle is a solitary animal throughout its life except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the wing-ding turtle is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the wing-ding turtle's wide range.
