Right now no zoos in the US or Europe have red-crowned roof turtles. These turtles are really beautiful and I am sure they would become a zoo favorite!

I must say though that your writings also have quite a bit of humor. I found myself smiling and laughing all the way through it! do keep us posted after you come back from your next trip. any chance of your bringing back a pair of endangered red-crowned roof turtles for the SDZ? or would that not be allowed? enjoy your trip!!! brian, I so enjoyed your post about field adventures in India.

I'm even slowly learning a bit of Hindi. The San Diego Zoo doesn't have red-crowned roof turtles at the moment but we do have some of their close relatives in the gharial exhibit.

I often visit the zoo's gharials -- favorites of mine -- and hope your research will aid in their preservation. Will you be staying with the same family? I'm sure its water buffalo misses you! Don't believe I've ever seen a red-crowned roof turtle. Do we have them at the zoo? I hope you have a gratifyingly productive experience in India, Brian.
