Geocache Description:

Located in the Yellowbank WMA in the Southern Town Creek Section. Parking is located on the North and West sides of the WMA.

Turtle Compass (TC) caches are a series of 27 caches set out in shape of a compass with an added turtle head and tail. I used these cache pages to tell you a little information about the many species of turtles that exist in the US. You are welcome to cut and paste your logs but I would love it if you could write up your experiences and comments on the (TC) Multi cache located at the tail. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the series.


Florida Pond Cooter Stats

Scientific Name:

Pseudemys floridana

Family:

Emydidae

Adult Size:

Females attain carapace length of 13 inches, while males are just slightly smaller.

Range:

Florida cooters are found in the coastal plain region of the southeastern United States from Virginia to Alabama.

Habitat:

Pond cooters are denizens of big cypress swamps, flooded river backwaters, and relatively permanent, large wetlands, such as Carolina bays. They will travel overland in search of water. They differ from their close cousin, the river cooter, in that they rarely live in fast moving water.
