A CRITICALLY ENDANGERED ANIMAL ....BENGAL ROOF TURTLE ... WATERCOLOUR .. POSTCARD SIZE ... 2014 ... The red-crowned roofed turtle (Batagur kachuga) is a critically endangered species of turtle endemic to South Asia. It was the type species of its former genus Kachuga. The large Batagur turtles are probably the most threatened freshwater turtles in India. Their populations have now been drastically reduced due to poaching for their meat and shells, accidental drowning in fishing gear, water pollution, hydroelectric infrastructure projects, habitat destruction by sand mining, and egg predation by jackals.[INFO : WIKIPEDIA]
