A colorful River Cooter peeks through grass.

🐢 This species mainly eats plants, but will eat almost anything, so is a survivor.

🐢 But females need sandy or loamy soil within about 100 ft (30m) of their water home to lay eggs. Watch your step!

🐢 Habitat loss is shrinking populations, but they are safe here.
