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

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
