TheSulawesi forest turtle (Leucocephalon yuwonoi) is acritically endangered species ofturtle in thefamily Geoemydidae. The species ismonotypic within thegenusLeucocephalon.^[3] It isendemic toSulawesi inIndonesia. These turtles have a unique clutch size, which is 1 or 2 eggs per clutch, that is significantly less than an average turtle's clutch size.^[5]

Etymology

[edit]

Thespecific name,yuwonoi, is in honor of Indonesian herpetologistFrank Bambang Yuwono (born 1958).^[6]

Habitat

[edit]

The preferred naturalhabitats ofL. yuwonoi are freshwater swamps and rivers.^[1]^[4] They also prefer a heavily covered area rather than a more open area. They like broadleaf canopy cover and deeper ground cover.^[7]

Conservation

[edit]

Conservation methods are very important with species, due to very low numbers in this species and with people destroying their habitats for agriculture purposes.^[8] As of 2016 The Riverview Zoo in Peterborough, Ontario, had managed to hatch two Sulawesi forest turtles.^[9] As of 2022, there are only a few captive populations where we have been able to gain an understanding of Sulawesi forest turtles.^[7]
