Northern Map Turtle (Graptemys geographica)Observer
sajohDescription
4 Northern Map Turtles all within the same area.
The one in my photo was the largest one we had seen with the shell approx. 9-10inches.
Altogether we had seen 4 Northern Map Turtles sun-basking. We were only out for a short amount of time, so I assume there are many more. There were also many Painted Turtles sun-basking as well.

Same Rhodotus palmatus as in the observation from two days earlier, but since it's been very dry, all the drops have dried out and the caps haven't expanded.
