A male loggerhead musk turtle from a small rocky stream. In prime habitat, loggerhead musk turtles can get in very high densities, and sometimes squabbling and fighting can occur. Typical confrontations involve biting the marginals (edge of the shell) until one individual retreats. #turtles #wildlife #sternotherus #animals #nature | Greg’s Turtle Haven

A hatchling loggerhead musk turtle is about the size of your thumbnail, and a large adult is barely the size of an iPhone. Small turtles with big heads that enjoy munching snails in clear flowing streams and springs #turtles #muskturtle #loggerheadmuskturtle #sternotherus #sternotherusminor #animalreels #reelsinstagram #turtlereels #reptilereels | Greg’s Turtle Haven
