If the Cantor's Giant Soft-Shelled Turtle's head seems like a snake's head to you, that's because they are both reptiles. This type of animal is also called a Frog-Faced Soft-Shelled Turtle because it somewhat looks like a frog, too (it's face, at least).
The Cantor's Giant Soft-Shelled Turtle is a very special animal because it currently holds the record for being the biggest existing freshwater turtle. There may have been other species of freshwater turtles that were bigger than the Cantor's Giant Soft-Shelled Turtle, but they are all extinct.
