There are two varieties of fortune-lubricating turtles, with various shapes; only female turtles are needed to attract wealth, while male turtles will only withdraw wealth; only when the male and female match, will the child be prosperous.

The Lucky Turtle is one of the most peculiar-looking freshwater turtles. Its carapace is round and dark gray, olive gray or brownish gray in color, with a row of white spots near the edge. The edges are slightly serrated, and because the outer bones are well developed and structurally complete, there is no skirt like that of a turtle. There are also no scutes, instead a continuous and slightly wrinkled skin. There is a row of spiny ridges in the middle of the carapace. The plastron is light in color, white, milky white or light yellow, slightly cross-shaped.

It is highly aquatic. In addition to laying eggs, it lives in the water all year round. Therefore, its limbs are specialized into flippers like turtles, which is unique among freshwater turtles. The nose is long and fleshy, resembling a pig's nose, hence its reputation as a "lucky turtle". The length of the carapace of an adult turtle generally reaches 46-51cm, and the weight is generally 18-22kg. The largest Lucky Turtle so far has a shell length of 56.3cm and a weight of 22.5 kg.

The food habits of wild lucky turtles are very diverse, such as small fish, shrimps, aquatic insects, aquatic plants, as well as fruits and branches and leaves falling from trees in the water. It can be said that they eat almost everything. The Lucky Turtle is one of the most peculiar-looking freshwater turtles.

Due to its narrow distribution and remote location, the lucky turtle was once considered one of the rarest water turtles in the world. However, later research showed that the lucky turtle is quite rare in its place of origin. It is common, but its specific population size has not yet been counted and reported.

The Lucky Turtle, since the World Wildlife Fund listed the Lucky Turtle as one of the 10 endangered animals in the world in 2004 (ranked fifth), its value has soared. Friends love and adore it.
