Last week I visited the National Museum of Natural History, "Naturalis" in Leiden, the Netherlands. Ofcourse I took a lot of pics of Pelusios species. The most remarkable one was a dry specimen of Pelusios cupulatta. the most stunning about this specimen is that it shatters the original maximum size of 230 mm. The specimen in the museum reached 260 mm, a new record...
