A note that 'tortoise' properly refers only to members of the Testudinidae, a family of cryptodire turtles very remote from any sideneck. I'm leaving the mention of the common name -- lots of common name are misnomers -- but I'm editing the section to clarify that it isn't really a tortoise. 129.62.56.98 (talk) 18:34, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to make some updates to this page based on current information obtained through the Friends of WST and the scientific Recovery Team. I'll also add some more photos.TedDougal'n'Jack (talk) 06:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
