The river cooter (Pseudemys Concinna) is native from Texas east to the east coast, and from northern Florida north to Virginia and Ohio. These are large herbivorous turtles that are gregarious baskets, often seen sunning in large groups on logs in rivers and lakes #rivercooter #pseudemysconcinna #turtles #turtlereels #animalreels | Greg’s Turtle Haven

A perfect river torpedo. This male Eastern River cooter has the perfect streamlined shape for navigating swift, rocky, montane trout streams. Also clearly visible, are his elongated foreclaws he uses to titillate the female during courtship #turtles #wildlife #animals | Greg’s Turtle Haven

Hey everyone! This is Ranger Eric. Most people have heard of the Red-eared Slider, but far less have heard of the River Cooter, a very similar looking turtle species that is also native to east Texas. In this video, we go over some tips on how to tell the two apart, as well as some other interesting facts about the River Cooter itself. I hope y'all enjoy the video! | Lake Livingston State Park - Texas Parks and Wildlife

Yesterday morning, we got Cooter B to eat from a Seagrass Mat and Janice decided she’d stop by for a nibble too! ❤️🐢 Thank you to the Florida Oceanographic Society, who donated seagrass and their expertise in seagrass mats to help us motivate Cooter B to eat. 💙🙏 #connectandprotect #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtlerescue #turtle #turtlehospital #marathonturtlehospital #theturtlehospital #sea #seaturtle #science #nature #ocean #beach #seaturtlehospital #seaturtlerehab #wildlife #floridakeys #STEM
