That RES can't be a record if it wasn't accurately documented.

The largest freshwater turtles in the world are Rafetus swinhoei and Chitra chitra.

The largest and heaviest hard shelled freshwater turtles in the world are male alligator snapping turtles, Orlitia borneensis and Podocnemis expansa. All three run a very close competition.

The largest and heaviest living turtle is the leaterback.
