Northern Map Turtle (Graptemys geographica)Observer
sajohDescription
4 Northern Map Turtles all within the same area.
The one in my photo was the largest one we had seen with the shell approx. 9-10inches.
Altogether we had seen 4 Northern Map Turtles sun-basking. We were only out for a short amount of time, so I assume there are many more. There were also many Painted Turtles sun-basking as well.
