HELLO TMNT FANS! i bring you a list of turtles that can be found in New York! (mostly native species)
these guys are actually considered a threatened species :( the bright yellow neck and chin are very pretty!
The Diamondback Terrapin!
these guys are super pretty with their intricate shell patterns and light coloration!
these guys are considered to be some of the smartest turtles! and (partially) get their name from the fact that their shell looks like it’s made of wood!
these guys are super cute! you might recognize this guy if you’re a fan of @sharkfinn ‘s little brother AU!
these guys are the smallest species of turtle in North America and are also endangered :(
A few species of these guys have spikes along the back of their shell that makes them look pretty cool!
these guys are also called the stinkpot turtle and get their names because they make a gross smell when they’re upset
these guys are only found on the Long Island because they’re endangered (a lot of these guys are endangered and that makes me very sad)
The Atlantic Ridley Turtle!
yet another endangered turtle these guys are some of the rarest marine turtles
The Leatherback Sea Turtle!
these guys are the biggest turtles sometimes getting up to 6 feet long!
The Loggerhead Sea Turtle!
when these guys are babies they have spikes along their shell but those go away as they age
these guys get their name from the bright British orange pattern on their plastron! I think they look very pretty
these aren’t all of the turtles that can be found in New York just the ones that I find interesting and neat looking! I would recommend doing research on some of these species They are very interesting! here is a source with a list of all of the turtles that can be found in New York and a bit of information on some of them!
