ʻO ka lōʻihi o ke kino o kēia mau holoholona mai 20 a 47 cm... Hiki ke kaupaona o nā kuhukukū hopu i 15 a i ʻole 30 mau kilo, akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia nā kānaka nui i waena o nā lunamaka o kēia laha. ʻO ke kumu, kaumaha kēia mau honu mai 4.5 a 16 kg. He mea kupaianaha loa kēia mea kolo: he kino kino me nā ʻūhā ikaika a ikaika hoʻi, akā ʻo ke poʻo, i ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he kaulike me ka nui, aneane puni kona ʻano. ʻO nā maka, neʻe ʻaneʻane i ka lihi o ka waha, he liʻiliʻi, akā kaulana.

Alakaʻi ka honu paʻa i kahi nohona semi-aquatic, a hoʻolilo i kahi ʻāpana nui o ka manawa i ka wai. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hālāwai me kēia mau holoholona mai ʻApelila a Nowemapa, ke hana lākou.
