EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a side view of a remarkable model of the Stinkpot Turtle emerging from the water, with its head and legs gracefully extending. The intricate details are truly mesmerizing as we observe the scutes covering its bony shell, providing both protection and beauty to this magnificent creature. A section of the shell has been thoughtfully removed, revealing an astonishing glimpse into its internal world. Within this cross-section model, we can marvel at the complex network of organs that sustain this unique reptile's life. Among them, we notice vibrant red stink glands and ducts carrying a pungent yellow liquid alongside the muscular wall. These fascinating features not only contribute to their distinct odor but also serve as a defense mechanism in their natural habitat. The Stinkpot Turtle belongs to the Kinosternidae family and is known for its mud turtle or musk turtle classification. Geoff Brightling's masterful capture allows us to appreciate every aspect of this incredible animal's anatomy while highlighting its elegance even in motion. As we delve into nature's wonders through this photograph, let us take a moment to reflect on our planet's diverse inhabitants and cherish their existence within our shared ecosystem.
