Are these the cutest turtles in the world? These hatchlings spiny Softshell turtles are perfectly equipped to navigate and hide in their river sandbar habitat. Their heavily webbed, paddle-like feet enable them to swim very quickly, and their leathery low-profile shell allows them to slip into the sand and hide, awaiting prey and avoiding predators. #softshellturtle #spinysoftshell #turtles | Greg’s Turtle Haven

Spiny softshell turtles will hide at the bottom of a river and dig in the sand, mud, or gravel to camouflage themselves. They’ll also do this in the colder months to regulate their body temperature. This spiny softshell, located at our Shepherd of the Hills Conservation Education Center in Branson, loves to dig and spends most of his time hidden in the rocks 🪨 🐢 🎥 Carly Robbs, MDC | Missouri Dept. of Conservation

They lay a clutch of hard-shelled eggs, with the number varying by individual and species.

Look at this big spiny softshell turtle, flopped over a log, basking in the sun. In the fall, they soak up the last of the sun's warmth to prepare their bodies for the long hibernation period.

During hibernation, their metabolism slows, and they absorb oxygen through their skin, allowing them to survive without air for months. Such interesting creatures... #alleghenyislandswilderness #findyouroutsidevoice #alleghenyriver #warre
