Softshell Turtle (Safari Ltd. - Incredible Creatures)

[brontodocus]

The Incredible Creatures line includes surprisingly many large-sized turtle replicas. One of my favourites is the one featured in this walk-around, the (Spiny) Softshell Turtle, Apalone spinifera (Lesueur, 1827). It has a total length of approx. 226 mm with a 118 mm long carapace, so the scale is between approx. 1:2 and 1:4. Here it is at Safari's website: http://safariltd.shptron.com/p/incredible-creatures%C2%AE-soft-shell-turtle

Thanks for share these images. I think that he is a perfect vesión of this animal. If you put this animal in a terrarium, the people will think that he is alive  .

You're welcome, Jetoar! But, well, if you put your hand inside the terrarium the difference is obvious: All fingers are still there!
