Yes, the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) exhibits sexual dimorphism. Males typically have larger, more prominent claws on their front limbs, which they use during mating, and they tend to have a more elongated tail compared to females. Additionally, males often display darker coloration and a more pronounced ridge along their shells. These differences help in distinguishing between the sexes, especially during the breeding season.
