Enjoy, Turtletoes/Biggie

The razor-backed musk turtle grows to approximately 15 cm (5.9 in) in length. It has a brown-colored shell, with black markings at the edges of each scute. The shell has a distinct, sharp keel down the center of its length, giving the species its common name. The body is typically grey-brown in color, with black spotting, as is the head, which tends to have a bulbous shape to it. It has a long neck, short legs, and a sharp beak. Males can usually be distinguished from females by their longer tails.

They are almost entirely aquatic, spending most of their time in shallow, heavily vegetated, slow-moving creeks, or ponds. The only time they typically venture onto land is when females lay their eggs. However, both sexes basks often. When a razor-backed musk turtle feels threatened, it will release a foul odor, similar to a skunk's.
