Rare: Yellow turtle rescued in Odisha’s Balasore District

In a very rare and unique moment, the residents of Odisha’s Balasore district witnessed a yellow turtle and rescued the same on Sunday.

The residents called the forest officials. Speaking about the rescued reptile, Bhanoomitra Acharya, Wildlife Warden, said that it was a unique find and he had never seen a specimen like this before.

“The whole shell and the body of the rescued turtle is yellow. This is a rare turtle, I have never seen one like this,” Acharya said.

According to senior IFS officer Susanta Nanda the ‘turtle most probably was an albino. One such aberration was recorded by locals in Sindh few years back.’

It also appeared to have pink eyes, a feature than indicates albinism, the IFS officer said sharing the pictures of this turtle on Twitter.

Last month too, a rare species of Trionychidae turtle was caught by fishermen at Deuli Dam under the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha and was later released by the forest department in Deuli dam.
