This turtle has a little secret up it's um, butt.

The Fitzroy River Turtle takes advantage of cloacal respiration. Meaning it sucks water up its butt, absorbs oxygen then shoots it back out.

Can you guess where this ass backward thing lives?

Australia, of course it Australia.

Why would you assume Australia? Is Not like it's lethally poisonous or anything. killer animals are our calling card not arse breathers
