Kiri Ibba is a common turtle from lowlands to
mid hills up to about 1200m. It inhabits paddy fields, rivers, salt marshes,
tanks, ponds and even canals in some urban areas. It feeds on frogs, fish, crabs,
snails, worms, insects and water plants. Flapshell turtle also scavenges on
dead animals. One of the major threats to it in Sri Lanka is killing large numbers for food.
