Wisconsin has 11 kinds of turtles: Blanding's Turtle, Eastern Musk Turtle, False Map Turtle, Northern Map Turtle, Ornate Box Turtle, Painted Turtle, Smooth Softshell, Snapping Turtle, Southern Map Turtle, Spiny Softshell, and Wood Turtle.
Loggerhead musk turtle was created in 1857.
NO. The eastern box turtle is a land turtle and the painted turtle is aquatic. If you had a habitat large enough that could accommodate a land area, a shallow water area and a deep water area it would be ok to house them together. The painted turtle would spend most of its time in the deeper water only coming on to land to bask, and the box turtle will spend the majority of its time on the land. They are not harmful to each other
Razor-backed musk turtle was created in 1855.
The Eastern Mud Turtle is kinda in the middle of the food chain because they are hunted by alligators, muskrats, racoons, and other turtles. All of those animals keep the musk turtle in the middle but the biggest predator of all IS MAN!!!!
The Common Musk Turtle, Sternotherus odoratus, is known as the stinkpot because of the bad smelling musk glands it uses for defense.
Flattened Musk Turtles (Sternotherus depressus) are a rare species of musk turtle living in the branches of the Black Warrior River of Alabama in the US, they have a broad flattened shell that helps them hide in rock crevices.
No. The musk turtle, also known as the stinkpot turtle, is not an endangered species.
