Description
"Northern Map Turtle" by Debbie Oppermann. I was thrilled to spot this Northern Map Turtle, a species of concern, on the Shawanaga River Ontario Canada. These Northern Map Turtles, at the slightest hint of danger, slip in to the water. The Map Turtles are a freshwater turtle and the light markings resemble the contours of a map, hence the name. They can be found in ponds and lakes but here in Ontario they are mostly found in rivers. They like large bodies of water and areas with fallen trees, are carnivorous and feed on molluscs, insects and crayfish.
