Blanding's Turtle
Emydoidea blandingii
Blanding's turtle is an egg-laying freshwater turtle of parts of the United States and southern Canada. A bright yellow chin and throat contrast with the dark, pale-speckled domed shell. It uses wetlands and also travels overland, and is maintained in zoo and conservation collections.
