According to biologists, this strangely colored turtle is due to albinism.

This lovely golden flapshell turtle is one of a few newly discovered small turtles in India.

It’s vivid, it’s the color of the sun, of an egg yolk, of a banana, of a daffodil—it’s a golden flapshell turtle.
Discovered in a net during a fishing spree, this latest internet sensation has gained a lot of attention, and given the turtle’s flashy coloring, it’s easy to see why.

The Indian flapshell turtle is usually brown with yellow spots, but they can be yellow on occasion.

It’s a common type of turtle in South Asia, and it’s been spotted in its yellow form on several occasions.
It is believed that this unique color is caused by albinism. This usually causes most animals to turn white but not in the case of this special turtle.

Once captured, the golden flapshell turtle is difficult to reintroduce because their color makes them stand out like a sore thumb in the wild.

The fact that they are yellow is not that uncommon, they are in fact rare to see as due to their color, they do not survive for long in the wild.

And understandably so, zero camouflage cover is given to these turtles as their startling golden color blends in with absolutely nothing in their natural environment.

Wish everyone who saw this golden turtle will have good luck in life, please share with your loved ones!
