Chinese Three-keeled Pond Turtle
Mauremys reevesii
Adults occupy calm freshwater habitats such as ponds, rice paddies, marshes, and sluggish streams. They are opportunistic omnivores, eating aquatic invertebrates, fish, carrion, and plant matter. Adults often rest buried in mud or under vegetation and bask when temperatures allow. This species is known for its three longitudinal keels, though the ridges can wear smoother with age.
