The Last Living Pair of Rafetus Turtles
Clip: Season 27 Episode 11 | 7m 10s
The last female rafetus turtle is about to be introduced to her new home at the Suzhou Zoo
In China, the last female rafetus turtle is about to be introduced to her new home at the Suzhou Zoo. She will take up residence in a divided breeding pond where – on the other side of a metal gate – the last male rafetus turtle is waiting to meet her. The stakes are incredibly high: this is literally the last chance the scientists have to save this species.
