This Eastern Spiny Softshell turtle (Apalone
spinifera spinefera) was found traversing a
trail along the wetland. The spiny softshell's body is not protected by a hard shell but instead by a tough, rubbery covering. The spiny softshell is a far better swimmer than most other turtle species. Macroinvertebrates such as aquatic insects, crayfish, and an occasional fish are the main stables of its diet.
