The Sonora mud turtle is found in the northern region of Sonora, Mexico into a small part of Arizona. Given the extremely arid environment in which they live, these turtles must have access to an in-water aquatic habitat to survive. In the water, these turtles feed, avoid predators, and mate. Out of water, they look for areas just along the banks of ponds and streams where soil remains moist so they can safely lay their eggs, ensuring that they won’t dry out.

Our Sonoyta Mud Turtles (Kinosternon sonoriense longifemorale) were especially curious today...👀🐢 These resilient reptiles are built for both land and water. Their tough carapaces (shells) protect them from predators and can close almost completely, helping them survive short droughts by going temporarily dormant in a process called estivation. With strong legs for walking, digging, and swimming, mud turtles move swiftly between ponds and shorelines. They can hold their breath for long periods
