On Safari With Nala - Hinge Terapin

The video explores the Okavango hinge terrapin, also known as the Okavango mud turtle. It highlights the terrapin's unique protective hinge, its habitat in wet areas, and its reproductive habits, including laying eggs in the ground. The terrapin is a carnivore, feeding on fish, frogs, tadpoles, and birds. It has a strong defense mechanism, emitting a bad smell when threatened. Terrapins are semiaquatic, living both on land and in water, and are more visible after rains. The video also warns of potential threats from predators like lions and hyenas.
