The Yangtze giant softshell turtle (Rafetus swinhoei) also known as the Red River giant softshell turtle, Shanghai softshell turtle, Swinhoe’s softshell turtle or speckled softshell turtle is an extremely rare species of softshell turtle found in China and Vietnam. Only four living individuals are known, two in China (captive) and two in Vietnam (wild), (a fifth from Vietnam having been reported dead in January 2016), and it is listed as critically endangered in the IUCN Red List. It is hoped that a pair at Suzhou Zoo in China will breed.
