Diamondback Terrapin

Malaclemys terrapin

Description:

These were just babies. They had just hatched from nests on Sedge Island in the Barnagat Bay. They measured only an inch and one half in length.

Estuaries, bays, marshes.

Notes:

A notch was cut from the edge of the still soft shell, this was so that scientists could know which one was which. Other data was collected from them too.
