Musk turtle

Reaching only about 4 ½ inches in length, this little turtle is more abundant then people realize. Often mistaken for a little stone with green algae growing on it, they are quite plentiful in many fresh water bodies of water. If you look closely, you'll see two light stripes on its head.
