Kinosternon bauri
Here's a dandy little striped mud turtle, Kinosternon bauri, spotted and photographed at Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge in central Florida. I do adore these little turtles -- and I always seem to find the littlest of the little ones. Cute, right? [jansonjones http://dusttracks.com]

Heh. That's the head up top, karalilly74. Wee little head! The second photo gives a clearer shot of this turtle's cowardice. Um, I mean defensiveness. Heh. I tease the turtles... In truth, they've got it all figured out. Mobile homes, staying near water. Indeed.
VERY! at first glance it looks like you're holding a giant beetle.....such a teeeeeny little head! Or is that his tail?! ;)
Kinosternids FTW!
