With only four individuals known to researchers, the Yangtze giant softshell turtle is the world’s largest, and arguably the most rare, freshwater turtle. This female, thought to be over 100-years-old, calls the Suzhou Zoo in China home, along with one other male. Before her time at the zoo, she was saved from a meat market by a traveling circus owner impressed by her size (these turtles can weigh up to 200 pounds!). She remained in the circus until it was shut down in 1949, when she was relocated to the Zoo. To ensure the survival of her species, this female must breed – several past attempts at artificial insemination have failed, but even the most threatened species have hope thanks to great organizations like @turtlesurvival who work to save endangered turtles from extinction.
