Turtle ID Beijing city

Postby Guillaume Blanchet » Thu May 31, 2018 5:44 am

Hi All,

Here is the picture of a turtle I'm seeing quite often in my campus in Beijing since spring.
I was thinking Ocadia chinensis, but I'm not really convinced.

It is not afraid at all by people (at the difference of most of T.scripta or soft-shell turtles) so it may have been released here by someone recently and it can come from anywhere...


If someone knows or has a guess pls go ahead!

Thanks

It should be mauremys reevesii. It is native to China. I found them in Japan aswell. In Japan it is an introduced specie.
