About Eastern Mud Turtles

The eastern mud turtle (Kinosternon subrubrum) is a small, semi aquatic turtle native to the eastern United States. Characterized by its dark carapace and distinct yellow or red markings, the eastern mud turtle thrives in muddy, shallow waters, feeding primarily on invertebrates and plant matter. Known for its ability to burrow into muddy banks, these turtles are adept at camouflaging and escaping predators. With a lifespan of over 50 years, the eastern mud turtle plays a vital role in its ecosystem as both predator and prey.
