Americelyids I have observed in the wild
Sternotherus odoratus (common musk turtle)
Chelydra serpentina (common snapping turtle)
Macrochelys temminicki (Aligator snapping turtle)

One species of the three I have not caught as they chase you if you spook them and I am not inclined to get bitten.

Local brewery in Bham has a new beer dropping tomorrow to raise funds toward conservation of Alabama's endemic & critically endangered flattened musk turtle (Sternotherus depressus). They will also have a wildlife biologist there with some turtles! 🐢 Such a cool place. Save the chelonians!

Did you know? Musk turtles, Sternotherus odoratus, (Or Stinkpot turtles) are named due to their ability to produce an odour from glands when stressed or under threat which can deter predators. These scent glands can be found on the sides of the shell.

Aujourd'hui voici la Sternotherus carinatus ou Cinosterne caréné.

Personnellement j'aime les appeler les mini-alligators, avec leur long cou auquel on ne s'attend pas (elles peuvent propulser leur tête en arrière, à près de 2 tiers de la carapace), et leur machoire acérée.

This is the only Musk I take seriously.
Eastern musk turtle Sternotherus odoratus, in my hand with limbs and head drawn into its shell with a look of peaceful resignation on their face. Take in unincorporated Gretna, LA.

#Sternotherus doesn't get much love from turtle enthusiasts or fishermen, but stinkpots (musk turtles) are a valuable piece of the ecosystems in which they reside, as prey, as predators, and especially as scavengers. #turtles #wildlife #biology #conservation #fieldwork

Endémiques des États-Unis, ces tortues sont classées en préoccupation mineure dans leur milieu d'origine, mais sont surveillées en France car elles s'adaptent très bien à nos lattitudes et pourraient vite être classées invasives et interdites (comme leur cousine la sternotherus odoratus).
