Taken on September 16th, 2018 in the Bush at Burgers' Zoo. I saw this turtle in what used to be the manatee pool in the bush. Thanks in advance for identification!
It's a Podocnemis, not sure of the species but the commonly kept one in zoos is P. unifilis. I also photographed these turtles in the Bush but the pics were blurry so I deleted them.
Zootierliste lists Podocnemis unifilis, the yellow-spotted Amazon river turtle as presently kept at Burgers' Zoo so I'm going to go with that. Thank you guys.
Yes, the Bush is definitely a challenge when it comes to photography and I didn't have an easy time in there, but I still have plenty of material. I'm now starting to sort through and it is going to be the next zoo I'll be posting pictures from, after De Zonnegloed Sanctuary, Amersfoort and Avifauna.
