Argentine Snake-necked Turtle (Hydromedusa tectifera)
Author's comments:
Aparecieron varios ejemplares pequeños de esta especie en una sanja cercana al río Luján, altura Tigre Puerto. El de la foto se recolectó para fotografiar el registro y luego se devolvió*
Asumo que había un nido cerca ya que eran muy pequeñas, alrededor de 5 cm de caparazón.
