A prepared specimen of the beetle is part of the collection of the Museum of Natural History in Split

A large specimen of a sea turtle known as 'bucnj' was discovered by citizens and subsequently collected by staff from the National Park Kornati and the Nature Department of Šibenik-Knin County. The specimen was transported to Split and then to Zagreb for professional preparation at Ichtio Art. After the preparation process, it was returned to the Natural History Museum in Split, where it has become part of the museum's collection. The turtle is 134 centimeters long, 86 centimeters tall, and weighed approximately 80 kilograms at the time of discovery. It is noted for being able to grow over three meters in length and weigh more than one ton, making it the heaviest species of sea turtle in the world. Despite its size, it is completely harmless to humans and feeds on jellyfish and other small marine organisms.
