I know what you're just thinking..... this turtle is a Punk-Rock star!!!
The australian amateur photographer Chris Van Wyk was snorkeling in the Mary River, a river system in South East Queensland, Australia, when met this beauty and didn't lose the cance to take some amazing shots.
Some weeds have grown on the head of this Mary River Turtle creating the illusion of a green crest that could make even a Sex Pistols really envious...

Now, maybe, you're wondering why I've added the second part of the title.
Well, Mary River Turtle Elusor macrurus is an endangered species, and, as you may guess from its name, it inhabits just the Mary River. The problem is that the Queensland Government announced on April 27, 2006 its intention to dam the Mary River, a project that could have dreadful consequencies on the survival of three endangered species, Mary River Turtle, the Queensland_Lungfish and the Mary River Cod, which have in that area their only remaining habitat.

Wow! I can't believe that turtle is for real... The resemblance with one of those punkie junkie is even stronger due to those sort of "piercings" it has under the face!
Great Post!

It is certain that it marked trend .... hahaha, funny thing is that he does to blend with the environment, then I wonder, what is the purpose of the people to imitate him? Hahaha, I'm just kidding but that is curious. It is a pity that the government of his country wants build a dam on the river in which they live, rather than investing money in protecting and know more about it.Greetings.

I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as
people think about worries that they just don't understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also outlined out the whole thing without having side effect , other people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thank you
