Well there's something you don't see every day.

The turtle was discovered near the city of Balasore, India, and it's suspected that it's some sort of albino variation of a turtle common to the area.

According to KMBC the turtle is an adult Indian Flapshell turtle about 1 1/2 to 2 years old. After its discovery and 15 minutes of fame it was safely released back into the wild.

When I was a kid we discovered some baby turtles and tried to convince our parents that we should take care of them. We also had a cat at the time. Decisions were made and the turtles went back to the stream where we found them.
