Mud turtles are small turtles that usually grow to about 3 to 4 inches long. They have a smooth, flat, and hard shell that is usually brown, black, or olive green. Their tiny feet are equipped with claws, and their head has a rather pointed snout with a beak-like mouth.  \nNow that we know how they look, let's dive into where these little guys love to hang out. Mud turtles can be found in a wide range of habitats but they especially love slow-moving freshwater environments. From marshes, ponds, to streams, these turtles love a good splash! They're even known to bury themselves in soft mud during the winter to keep warm.  \nSpeaking of burying in mud, have you ever wondered about what these turtles munch on? Well, mud turtles are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Their diet mainly consists of aquatic plants, small fish, insects, and even small frogs. They have strong jaws that help them grind their food, no matter how hard or slimy!  \nJust like us humans, mud turtles also have a very interesting life story. After the female mud turtle lays her eggs, she leaves them to hatch on their own. The little baby turtles, known as hatchlings, then have to fend for themselves right from the start.
