Hanois Hoan Kiem Turtle

We saw Dsoa in Hanoi's Hoan Kiem Lake, 2005 and again in November 2006. We are very lucky to see this rare species.

i want to see his shell!

@AsianxBboi It's hard to see through the murky green water. It's shell is big and quite flat. Kind of soft looking...not sure. They have a stuffed one at a temple on the lake. Dzoa.
