  1. soft-shelled turtle

    A soft-shelled turtle is a type of turtle from the family Trionychidae known for its distinctive leathery, round or elongated carapace or "shell" which lacks the hard scales (or scutes) found on other turtles. Most species are primarily aquatic and both freshwater and brackish species are present. Soft-shelled turtles tend to have a specialized, snout-like nose and are found in various parts of the world including Asia, Africa, and North America. Their diet is typically carnivorous, including fish, insects, crustaceans, and amphibians.
