There are 16 species of turtles in the Everglades.

These animals like to lounge in the sun, warming themselves and providing relief from leeches and algae which grows on their backs.

One of the most common turtles in Everglade National Park is the Box turtle

The box turtle has a humped shell with a design on it. The design looks like many tiny yellow firecrackers. The rest of the shell is brown with a yellow stripe on the top of the shell. On its neck it has small brown stripes. Also its legs, tail, and head are a yellow-brownish color.

Here is a link to the Everglades with all the information you could need including about turtles.
