But now I’m in a position to produce them for our children. Such lucky kids.
Download for free, it’s educational and fun!

There is no risk-free trade or consumption of any wildlife, whether it's wild-caught or farmed.
With our partners @Global_Wildlife, we're calling for a permanent ban on markets that trade in it. bit.ly/2vRNe0J #COVID19 #covid_19 #CoronaOutbreak

The spotted softshell turtle (Pelodiscus variegatus) is most easily distinguished from other softshells by the blotches on its plastron. Discovered less than a year ago, it's already a candidate to be classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. #terpfacts #herpfacts
