Branderhorst's Snapping Turtle
Elseya branderhorsti
Elseya branderhorsti (Branderhorst's snapping turtle) is a species of freshwater turtle from the family Chelidae. The species is endemic to West Papua Indonesia and Western Province of Papua New Guinea. Until recently it has been a confusing species due to its lost holotype and sympatry with another, undescribed, species. The species is currently listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN RedList in part due to its vulnerability to the Asian turtle trade.
