I missed the news, but going by the picture and being a Hawaii fag, Here's the introduced turtle we have in Hawaii. Immigrants from China brought them over in the plantation days for food. Now they just live in some of the rivers. They can extend there necks about as long as there body length and there noses function as a snorkel. The ones in the pets stores usually have their bodies completely buried with only the head sticking out. They'll extend their necks to strike and also to take a breath with their noses. Apparently they're endangered in their native range because China.
