Hilaire’s Side-necked Turtle (Phrynops hilarii)

If the name of this turtle is accurate, does that mean their heads are always turned to the side like this? And is their mouth always open like that? That is one bizarre turtle! :eek:
 
no, they can fully extend their necks. hidden-necked turtles can retract their heads. side-necks, fold their necks and heads under their carapace and plastron. no idea why the mouth is open, could be any reason, really.
