Do you know why this is called a side-necked turtle? Instead of folding its neck like an "s" back into its shell, this turtle tucks its head and neck under the edge of its shell along the side. It has gained popularity in recent years. It can be tamed more easily than its larger reptile relatives. It is found in the Southern Hemisphere and is an important food source for people along the Amazon River.

Nice picture - didn't know there was such a turtle.
Nice shot! Looks like its posing for you with its cute little eye looking at the camera:).
Interesting angle. I like the silvery color too.
That's very interesting about turtles' necks.
