Malayan Painted river turtle
<(Callagur borneoensis)

Most commonly known as a river terrapin, these soft-shelled turtles have a pig-like snout. Another distinctive marking is the three longitudinal stripes down their back. They are found mostly in Malaysia, but smaller concentrations are also seen in Thailand and Indonesia. They are critically endangered mainly due to poaching and trade.
