The Dragon Headed Turtle

While going through my iPhone photo gallery, I found this photo of a rather unique stone statue I saw at the mushroom farms in Genting Highlands. It's a huge stone turtle with the head of a dragon, I call it the Dragon Headed Turtle.



Now what is it suppose to symbolize? What I know is that the tortoise or turtle may symbolize longetivity, but what do you get by splicing it with a dragon head. Dragons have always been associated with power, so my guess is it's a fengshui thing to bring "power for a very long time".

Anyway that's just my guess. I'll probably google up the real meaning once I'm back home. What do you think it symbolizes?
