In the river with a big female spiny Softshell turtle! These amazing animals are perfectly adapted to their riverine habitat, with paddle-like feet, a low streamlined leathery shell, and long neck with snorkel nose. Can you tell the difference between this and the Florida Softshell? Let me know in the comments #conservation #wildlife #nature #animals #turtles #softshellturtle | Greg’s Turtle Haven

This hatchling spiny Softshell turtle shows it’s amazing burrowing behavior, which allows it to escape predation and also hid in ambush for its prey #turtle #softshellturtle #apalonespinifera #reelsplay #turtlereels #animalreels #reptilereels #herpingreels #fieldherping #wildlife | Greg’s Turtle Haven
