Sternotherus odoratus
Definetly, its a name I won't be forgetting, thanks
When I was in school the common name was Stinkpot, although Common Musk Turtle has a following. Personally I think Stinkpot has more character.
Is it really called a Spinkpot? Poor little fella!!!

That is so cool!
It's an aquatic bottom-walking turtle in the mud and musk turtle family. The name comes from a smelly substance secreted by glands in the bridge of the shell.
Is that a land turtle or a fresh water turtle?
