A handout picture released by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) on April 12, 2018 shows the Australian Mary River turtle, Elusor macrurus, a native of Queensland, Australia. Boasting a green, punk hairdo and the unusual ability to breathe through its butt, an Australian turtle has become famous overnight -- but not only for its eccentricity. Unfortunately, just as many of us are discovering the Mary River Turtle's many tantalising traits, it has become the latest creature to join the "EDGE of Existence" list of endangered species compiled by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL).
