Also known as Scorpion Mud turtles (Kinosternon scorpioides). Locally known as Swanka
These turtles are by far the most common turtle around the farm. While they are highly aquatic they are are also highly terrestrial. I find them all the time cross the yard or road. They are often difficult to photograph as they are generally very quick to hide in their shells.
