Five Things You Probably Dont Know About The River..
2nd Jul 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Five things you probably don’t know about the river terrapins:
🐢 They are only found in two countries in the world, i.e. Cambodia and Malaysia (comparatively, green turtles are found in more than 80 countries)
🐢 They are a Totally Protected species in the Malaysian Wildlife Conservation Act 2010
🐢 Unlike sea turtles that lay an average of 100 eggs each time, river terrapins lay 25-35 eggs each time
🐢 Malaysia is the only country where both subspecies occur, i.e. Batagur affinis...

27th Jun 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
We hosted about 100 members of Persatuan Hainan Kemaman, Kemasik and Kuantan this morning! 🌤️
Many of our guests have not heard of river terrapins before. Or they may have lived in Kemaman for many years but have never visited our centre 🐢
So the programme this morning was eye-opening and educational at the same time 💪🏻
If you’d like a similar experience, DM us! 🚀

📸 Just a few snaps from our TikTok LIVE earlier today. Thank you to everyone who tuned in! 💚

19th May 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
We check our terrapin nests every month during the incubation period.
In the first two months, we look for any signs of fungal infection or ant infestation. Catching these early helps protect the eggs. We remove any eggs that are affected by fungi or attacked by ants.
In the final month of incubation, as we perform the nest checks, we also loosen the sand in the nest. This makes it easier for the hatchlings to reach the surface when they’re ready to emerge.
We’re approaching the end of t...

En Versi Bm Di Bawah. How Many Eggs Does A Turtle ..
25th Apr 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
EN | Versi BM di bawah 👇🏻
“How many eggs does a turtle lay?”
“Can we touch the hatchlings?”
“Woahh, is this real?” 😮
These were some of questions we got from the curious students at SJK(C) Kong Min!
We came with turtle and terrapin stories, real specimens, and of course our smiles — and we walked away with something even better: the joy of seeing the ‘little turtle heroes’.
From the Turtle Talk, to our hands-on specimen table, and even we brought the little merchan...
