The Amazon Mud Turtle (Kinosternon scorpioides) is a widespread but rarely encountered species of turtle across much of the Neotropics. After over six years of working here in Madre de Dios, I finally encountered one of these adorable turtles as it was crossing a trail. These turtles rarely leave wet areas, and when they do it’s normally only to find new areas with water where they can stay submerged. Definitely one of the coolest species of reptile I’ve seen so far this year!

Today, we have a battle of the TINY TURTLES! The African Dwarf Mud Turtle, or Pelosius nanus, vs The North American Spotted Turtle, or Clemmys guttata. The African Dwarf Mud Turtle calls the swamps of Angola, Dominican Republic of Congo, Zambia, and Malawi home and has one of the most endearing personalities out of all turtle specie. The North American Spotted Turtle is a Northeastern United States native and calls bogs and marshes home and sports some of the prettiest pattern and color in the animal kingdom. Who wins? Let us know below! #reptile #reptiles #turtle #turtles #tinyanimals #smallanimals #nature #sideneckturtle #spottedturtle

Happy birthday Mad Max! 🎂🎊🎉In April 2019 I had no idea I would encounter a turtle that would steal my heart and fill me up with so much joy. Mad Max is by far the best wildlife ambassador for her species and taxon, and a true example of size matters not! You know this is one turtle with a bad attitude when she runs off a 10ft Morelet’s crocodile off the target training area! . @crocodileresearchcoalition . . #madmax #madmaxmonday #mondaymotivation #turtle #tortuga #turtlepower #funnyanimals #crocodile #cocodrilo #moreletscrocodile #cocodrilodepantano #croc #reptilesofinstagram #reptile #reptil #belize #placenciabelize #placencialagoon #wildlifesanctuary #womeninconservation #mondaycrush #mondayfunday #centralamerica #americacentral #funnyanimals #crocsofinstagram #wildlife #animals #instagood #birthdaygirl #happybirthday
