Leucocephalon is a genus of turtles within the family Geoemydidae, known for its sole member, the Sulawesi forest turtle (Leucocephalon yuwonoi). This critically endangered species is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, and is recognized by its distinctive pale-colored head and robust, domed shell. It inhabits freshwater streams and forested areas, where it exhibits shy and secretive behavior. Threatened by habitat loss and overexploitation for the pet trade, conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this rare genus and its unique ecological role in its native habitat.
