	<dc:description>Inhabits swamps, lakes and rivers (Ref. 9987), among vegetation (Ref. 56749).  Enters flooded forest (Ref. 9497).  Found in medium to large rivers and stagnant water bodies including sluggish flowing canals (Ref. 12975).  Omnivorous.  Feeds on both plants and animals such as some aquatic weeds, fish, frogs, earthworms and sometimes dead animals (Ref. 6459).  Can breathe moist air, so can be kept alive for long periods out of water, making it possible to distribute it in areas lacking a cold chain (Ref. 9987).  Was reported from miocene deposits in Central Sumatra (Ref. 7426).  Utilized fresh and eaten steamed, pan-fried and baked (Ref. 9987).</dc:description>
