Chinese Three-keeled Pond Turtle Juvenile
Mauremys reevesii (juvenile)
Juveniles live in quiet freshwater ponds, canals, and marshes with soft bottoms and dense cover. They forage actively for insects, worms, snails, tadpoles, and aquatic vegetation while remaining wary of predators. Young turtles bask on low banks or floating debris to warm themselves. Their shell keels are usually more pronounced than those of older adults.
