Series 19 hides a leaf for last. The Vietnamese leaf turtle is a small forest turtle with a long, serrated brown shell edged like a leaf and a pair of unusually large, expressive eyes — a perfect disguise for a life spent among the fallen foliage.

A Turtle Shaped Like a Leaf

Its narrow, elongated shell with a jagged, toothed margin mimics a dead leaf on the forest floor, hiding this little turtle in plain sight among the litter.

Big, Beautiful Eyes

Unusually large eyes give the leaf turtle a striking, almost cartoonish face — a charming feature that makes it a favorite among turtle enthusiasts.

A Cool-Forest Dweller

It shuns open water, preferring to roam the damp, shaded floor of cool upland forests, hunting worms and insects among the leaves.

The Collector’s Reward

As the secret chase of the series, the leaf turtle is the piece keepers hunt for — a big-eyed little marvel of disguise, rounded into a plump, leaf-shaped treasure.

“A big-eyed turtle disguised as a fallen leaf — the hidden gem of the set.”
