Black Softshell Turtle (Nilssonia nigricans) is a Critically Endangered (Praschag et al., 2021) species of freshwater softshell turtle with historical distribution across the north-east India especially in the Brahmaputra River and its tributaries in the State of Assam.
Turtle shells have two main parts: the carapace (upper section) and plastron (lower section). The shell of most species is composed of bony plates covered by a layer of horny scales called scutes. Softshells, however, have reduced bony plates that are covered by tough skin instead of scutes.
These turtles easily recognized by their lack of hardened scutes upon their shells, resulting in a leathery, somewhat flexible shell. This characteristic is where they get the name “softshell.” Read on to learn about the softshell turtle .
“An outbreak of a poxvirus-like infection in a population of 20,500 50-day-old soft shell turtles ( Pelodiscus sinensis ) at a culture farm in Pingtung County, southern Taiwan, occurred from late November to early December 2008.
The Asiatic soft-shelled turtle, Amyda cartilaginea, is primarily found in southeastern Asia, in the lowlands of the peninsula and on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Lombok, and Borneo. It is present in all the nations of southeast Asia except the Philippines.
