The Pig-Nosed Turtle, named so for its pig nose (and the fact it’s a turtle), gives off quite frankly, unbelievably cute energy with its tiny little smile and floppy little flippers. However, don’t be fooled as this beast of the sea can be extremely aggressive and territorial. (But how!! Look at its little face! (╥﹏╥)

However, a cute face does not a good pet make, and sadly, thanks to the illegal exotic pet trade, their numbers are dwindling dramatically. They’re prone to stress and fighting, especially in small spaces, so while they may look irresistibly adorable, please do. They’re still super cute, even from a distance.
