Sunday species spotlight: the Spiny Turtle! The Spiny turtle (Heosemys spinosa) is native to Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore and can also be found on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. They are commonly called ‘Spiny turtles’ because of the shape of their marginal scutes, which are quite sharp when the turtles are young. These spines are an excellent example of an evolutionary trait developed to discourage predators from eating the turtle during the first few years of their life. Desp

Day 4 of International Turtle and Tortoise month! The Spiny Hill Turtle! This incredible species originates from Southeast Asia where they spend their days foraging the jungle floor for fallen fruits, invertebrates, and vegetation to eat. The babies hatch out with a super sharp ring of spines along the edge of their carapace which is how they got their name. These spines are excellent for thwarting predators and to help the animal camoflauge among the leaf litter. Throughout its range, this spec

Are these the cutest turtles in the world? These hatchlings spiny Softshell turtles are perfectly equipped to navigate and hide in their river sandbar habitat. Their heavily webbed, paddle-like feet enable them to swim very quickly, and their leathery low-profile shell allows them to slip into the sand and hide, awaiting prey and avoiding predators. #softshellturtle #spinysoftshell #turtles | Greg’s Turtle Haven

Look at this big spiny softshell turtle, flopped over a log, basking in the sun. In the fall, they soak up the last of the sun's warmth to prepare their bodies for the long hibernation period. This is crucial for digestion, egg development, and immune function. During hibernation, their metabolism slows, and they absorb oxygen through their skin, allowing them to survive without air for months. Such interesting creatures... #alleghenyislandswilderness #findyouroutsidevoice #alleghenyriver #warre
