My wife works for the WA government conservation agency - I'll see if she can source any decent photos appropriate for the public domain. ropable 03:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

A note that 'tortoise' properly refers only to members of the Testudinidae, a family of cryptodire turtles very remote from any sideneck. I'm leaving the mention of the common name -- lots of common name are misnomers -- but I'm editing the section to clarify that it isn't really a tortoise. 129.62.56.98 (talk) 18:34, 11 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
