Rare Albino Turtle Was Found, Looks Like A Slice Of Melted Cheese

A rare albino turtle was rescued in West Bengal, India, and it’s gone viral online. It’s actually an albino Indian flap shell turtle and people on Twitter are loving it because it looks like a slice of melted cheese.

A farmer in the village of Sujanpur, in Odisha’s Balasore district, discovered the rare turtle while he was working in his fields. The turtle was later handed over to conservation experts after posting the pictures on Twitter. This is the most forbidden food I’ve ever seen.


“Today a Yellow Turtle was rescued from a Pond in Burdwan, WB.”

“It’s one kind of a rarely occurring Flapshell Turtle.”

“It’s an albino kind whose peculiar yellow color is maybe because of either some genetic mutation or congenital disorder due to the absence of tyrosine pigment.”

“Close snap of the same. Mark the pink eyes, one indicative feature of albinism.”
