The nose of this turtle looks like that of a pig, having the nostrils at the end of a fleshy snout, hence the common name.

It is a living fossil, being the only living member of the family Carettochelyidae, and the only known species in the subfamily Carettochelyinae and the genus Carettochelys.

Female Pig-nosed turtles lay their eggs late in the dry season on sandy river banks. When the offspring is fully developed, they will stay inside the eggs in hibernation, and not hatch before the eggs have been flooded with water, which means the rainy season has started and offers the hatchlings a best possible start in life.

Males can be distinguished from females by their longer and narrower tails.

Their brittle-shelled eggs are 1.5--2.1 in (38--53 mm) in diameter, and 1.1--1.6 oz (32--46 g) in mass.

Their clutch sizes range from 7 to 39 eggs.
