Triva - Fuscus's Ulitimate Creature Kontest

the fitzroy turtle can breath through its **** by sucking water into the cloaca, then extracts oxygen from the water and squirts the water out again.
it does not bask.

 

[africancichlidau]

There are a few people on here that can do that too

This is not directed at any people in particular but is just a simple attempt at a little humour

 

[wattso]

It breathes thru its bum but has trouble talking thru it! lol :twisted:

 

[Fuscus]

Wattso again! Here I am thinking that I am asking questions that I am worried are too hard and they get answered in two minutes. The depth of knowleadge in this community is amazing. The turtle draws and expells water though its cloacal orifice 15 to sixty times a minute. It has vascularised pouches which serve as gills

Sorry guys, I had things to do in the real world.
When I asked the question I thought that there was only one turtle species that laid there - the loggerhead, so the slateman got the question (I really wanted a species name, wattso. sorry, mate)

Further research says that there are actually 4 species that nest at Mon Repos, Slateman has listed three.
Q What is the forth species of sea turtle that nests (or has nested) at Mon repos?
(HINT : it ain't the one eyed trouser turtle)

 

[Brodie]

there isnt a fourth species?? haha no jj leather back turtles

 

[wattso]

Olive ridley > this one is endangered
leatherback >not sure
hawksbill > this one i think also frequents mon repos

 

[roadkill5000]

the pygmy green or little green turtle

 

[Slateman]

Sorry mate they are 4 of them turtles at Mon Repos include the loggerhead, flatback, green and leatherback.

 

[Fuscus]

Brodie answered correctly. It is the leatherback and is the only place in eastern Australia they lay. Now for the horrible bit, during the 1980s no more than three females per year nested there. I don't know if the situation has improved

QApproxamtly how far south does the distrubution of the Frilled-neck Lizard extend?

 

[ackie]

brisbane

 

[Fuscus]

Bingo ackie. thought to be locally extinct until rediscovered near Greenbank Army Reseve and Bribie Island about 1990. There was a web site that claimed the animal was found in Lamington National Park which is on the NSW/QLD border
