Originating from the island of Rote in Indonesia, the Roti Island snake-necked turtle is a critically endangered species due to an array of issues including habitat loss and climate change. Captive breeding programs, such as the one from bronxzoo, are meant to increase the species population. See how the Bronx Zoo is helping to restore the Roti Island snake-necked turtle tonight at 9pm ET on the season premiere of The Zoo #InsideTheZoo . . . #animalplanetupclose #animalsofinstagram #animalplanet #animaloftheday #wild #wildlife #outdoors #animals #wildanimals #conservation #nature #animallovers #instanature
