Softshell Turtle
The Western Spiny Softshell Turtle is found around the Mississippi River. They are highly aquatic, and rarely leave the water. They prefer open habitats and are usually found in larger streams, inland lakes, reservoirs, and other permanent bodies of water. Being strong swimmers, these turtles can withstand moderate currents and they use their elongated nose to breathe at the surface of the water. Western Spiny Softshells often bury themselves in the sand or hide under rocks at the bottom of their chosen body of water.
The main living part for the Midland Smooth Softshell is following the Mississippi. A speedy and strong swimmer, it spends most of its time in or near the water, but can move quickly on land as well. Midland Smooth Softshells prefer larger streams with current, fairly clear water, and a sandy bottom. They also spend time basking on sand bars or banks, sometimes in groups. Their only enemy is the human.
