Did anyone get the name of that turtle? · 10:00 AM

Not certain of the ID of this turtle, but it was crossing a converted rail trail from a canal to a creek on the other side. My wife almost hit it with her bicycle.

Indeed a nice shot of a musk turtle. Around here folks often call them "stinkpot turtles!"

Thanks mole, that's the name I discovered for them after a bit of digging.
