The large-nosed wood turtle lives in tropical forests near streams and rivers. It has a large tubular nose that helps it breathe when the body is hidden in the water.
The large-nosed wood turtle differs from other species by its very large tubular nose. It is important for the forest because it disperses plant seeds by eating fruits and excreting them with feces.
