Thank you both! I'll create a separate spotting for the Cooter.
It's funny how they're all headed in the same direction. Nice pic !
And the other species with only yellow markings is the Texas River Cooter, Pseudemys texana. As sunswimer02 mentioned below, the ones with red markings are the red-eared sliders, Trachemys scripta elegans. You could crop these images and create 2 separate spottings, one for each species, so the Project Noah database and missions have more accurate data. :-)
Well you have a couple of different species in this pic. The ones with the red on the side of their heads are red-eared sliders.
