Happy World Turtle Day 🐢 Turtles are wonderful creatures that can be found throughout Australia, from mangroves and rivers to our warm tropical oceans. Unfortunately, many turtle species are threatened by habitat destruction and predation. #WorldTurtleDay https://t.co/w9URhzpnfJ

It's World Turtle Day and today we're celebrating a very special and important species - the Broad-shelled Turtle! Broad-shelled Turtles are classified as Endangered in Victoria and if you're lucky, you can spot them amongst the gorgeous wetlands at Kyabram Fauna Park. https://t.co/Kcsyt3FDql

Today is World Turtle Day, and while it is a day to celebrate these amazing creatures we share our world with, we must remember how we treat them here in Australia and strive to be better. NSW and QLD still operate shark culling programs that entangle and kill marine turtles. https://t.co/CI5u3heOA7
