Original - A common snakeneck turtle (Chelodina longicollis) covered in camouflaging algae; when resting this individual would look like an algae covered rock
Reason
Good quality (for a dirty environment!), very interesting image illustrating the turtle coming up for air and its use of natural camouflage, highly encyclopaedic.
