Is it just me or does that turtle look like maaybe it's one of nature's dead ends?

Well, it's got a soft shell, a narrow head, and only mates once every 20 years (e.g. me in college). Me in college was not exactly anyone's model for the successful propagation of the species.

Yeah it's one of those species that seems super lucky to still exist, but who am I to judge?
