Brands from five exotic countries with rare animals. Vietnam features four species of Asian soft-shelled turtles. A biological curiosity: soft-shelled turtles that live in salty sea water release their urine from their mouths underwater. Valued for their meat, they are now mainly produced in breeding farms. Men drink the blood to supposedly to increase their potency (this still applies to turtle eggs in some countries). The European pond turtle is/was widespread, including in Belarus (bottom right). These two stamps could be bought for a modest 90 cents in the stamp shop Engel (Landshut).
