What? "Mata Mata"?? Yes, It means "Kill! Kill!" in Spanish. This MataMata turtke is unquestionably a killer. This inauspicious animal has a lengthy neck along with warts (verrucas) and ugly fleshy folds. It also has a prominent big flat head and a projecting snorkel shaped nose. This nose is helpful for this snorkel breather to breathe under the water.
During 1947, it was a French Scientist, who named (I mean described) this ugly animal as "large land turtle with spiky and ridged scales".
Guess what? This ugly matamata is a flesh-eating animal. These love aquatic invertebrates and fish! Enough with the theory now let us look how ugly these animals are:
