Ever notice that the Forsten’s Tortoise always looks a little…grumpy? This endangered species is one of 850 turtles representing 25 species at our Turtle Survival Center (TSC). Its uniquely shaped beak gives it an endearing forever frown. Aside from its expressive disapproval, this tortoise boasts a long, low carapace (shell), smattered with black splotches. This species faces rapid decline due to its limited range and the pet trade. While it currently does not have protected status in Indonesia
