Your image is too warm. It has a yellow tint and it needs sharpening. Also, the composition is not good. Follow the Rule of Thirds and use a different format. This leaves empty space for the buyer to use as needed. You should never have your subject leaving the photo.
Here is an example:

Taken on Canon EOS90D


By @Nick38663230kz7d

The camera is rarely the issue, at least for any modern digital camera. You, however, have to know the limits of your camera. The EOS90D has focussing issues at high ISO values, especially with low level lenses. You would probably need many shoots to get one correctly focussed. And you have noise issues with the APS-C sensors. 

In addition you will need to correct the white balance and the exposure.

The rheino is great but maybe it needs some editing to 'pop up' ....

Yes that crop is much improved and the tone more neutral.  Thank you

Over exposed background. Shadows need opening up.

Thank you danielle4510 that half and half is very helpful.  Can I ask and sorry if it is a naive question but how did you achieve that improvement?

I used the Camera Raw filter in Photoshop.

The turtle is out of focus and the shutter speed is slow, so it's blurry.

 

I think the rhino is blurred because the dark areas are crushed.

Thank you yamato7.  By crushed you mean that the dark areas on the rear leg are too uniformly black?

Photos with crushed shadows or blown highlights are not ideally exposed in Adobe Stock.
