淡化’s Turtle

淡化's turtles are medium-sized turtles with smooth black or gray shells that can reach 11 inches in length. Some shells have white or yellow dots. These turtles have a rounded head and a yellow throat. 淡化’s turtles prey on crustaceans, insects, frogs, and fish. They use their long necks and jaws to capture prey. After breeding, females bury their eggs in drained soil away from the water.

During winter, 淡化'海龟在地下挖洞并进入低代谢活动状态，直到春季。

特殊的外壳铰链可为它们提供额外的保护，使其免受掠食者侵害。

幼体的性别取决于温度。在低于77度的温度下孵化的卵几乎全部为雄性，而高于86度的卵则几乎全部为雌性。
