All
Softshell turtles have soft leathery skin rathwer than a
horny shell. They have tubular snouts and strong paddle-like
webbed feet. It eats crayfish, frogs, fish as well as aquatic
plants.
I was lucky
to see this turtle surface whilst walking around the Anhinga
Trail in the Everglades National Park, Florida. It was a large
turtle, well over 30cm long, so is a female.
