Australian Turtles Vol. 2

On Episode 26 of CheloniaCast Michael, Jack, and Ken sit down with renowned herpetologist and author John Cann and Terence Rogers to talk about Australia’s vibrant chelonian fauna. The discussion covers many different topics, ranging from startling events in New Guinea, the ecology of the Pig-Nosed Turtle, hybridization of Cann’s Long-Necked Turtle, trips across Australia in pursuit of turtles, diving with salties, and what it was like to compile (the book) Freshwater Turtles of Australia.

John Cann and Ross Sadlier wrote multiple editions of Freshwater Turtles of Australia, the latest (2017) edition of which can be found here - https://www.publish.csiro.au/book/7770/
