The yellow-spotted-river turtle can lay up to 35 eggs at a time. Doing this twice a year helps ensure the survival of the species as the babies scurry from land to river as quickly as possible.
It is also one of the largest South American breeds of river turtle. By the time it reaches adulthood, a yellow-spotted river turtle can be 18 inches long and weigh as much as 18 pounds! If you think this turtle is impressive, our next animals best defense mechanism will blow you away!
