THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 20 - MISSISSIPPI MAP TURTLE
I've always enjoyed Map Turtles and now I am finally getting some experience with them!
Map Turtles are an interesting group of turtles. Their name comes from the patterns on their shells that resemble topographical or contour maps. Back in Wisconsin, we had three species, but since they are mostly found in bigger rivers, I never encountered them in my area.
Accurate identification of these can be tricky, but I believe that the ones I have here are Mississippi Map Turtles. Enjoy the video.
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

So interesting as usual :p
Aww the baby turtle is the cutest. I always had a fascination and love for turtles because of the teenage mutant ninja turtles haha.
I found a recently preserved turtle. Preserving turtles in Indonesia is illegal because sea turtles are protected. For green turtle eggs and scaly turtles, if the population is excessive, may eat it, but only outside the conservation area. Read more, I wrote about it at the following link:
