______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The map turtle, also known as the common map turtle or the sawback turtle, is a species of freshwater turtle belonging to the genus Graptemys. They are known for their distinctive pattern on the carapace (upper shell), which resembles the contour lines on a map, hence their name. Here are some key points about map turtles:
Map turtles have a relatively flat, elongated carapace with a serrated edge along the back, giving them the nickname "sawback turtle." The carapace coloration varies depending on the species and can range from olive green to brown. They have webbed feet with strong claws, which aid in swimming and climbing.
The genus Graptemys consists of several species of map turtles, including the Northern map turtle (Graptemys geographica), the Mississippi map turtle (Graptemys pseudogeographica kohnii), and the Ouachita map turtle (Graptemys ouachitensis), among others.
