  • Emydidae (( Latin emys=freshwater tortoise + Ancient Greek εἶδος (eîdos, “appearance, resemblance”)) is a family of testudines (turtles) that includes close to 50 species in 10 genera. Members of this family are commonly called terrapins, pond turtles, or marsh turtles. Several species of Asian box turtles were formerly classified in the family; however, revised taxonomy has separated them to a different family (Geoemydidae). As currently defined, the Emydidae are entirely a Western Hemisphere family, with the exception of two species of pond turtle.
    Scientific classificatione;
    Kingdom: Animalia
    Phylum: Chordata
    Class: Reptilia
    Order: Testudines
    Suborder: Cryptodira
    Superfamily: Testudinoidea
    Family: Emydidae
    The upper shell (carapace) of most emydids is the shape of a low arch, although in some species, it is domed. The upper shell may have one or two ridges that run from front to the back of the animal (a projection commonly called a "keel"), or such a feature may be absent. A prominent bridge often connects the top shell to the bottom shell (plastron). Emydids have large bottom shells, and some members of the family have a movable hinge that separates pectoral and abdominal segments (scutes). The skull is small.
    The limbs of these turtles are adapted for swimming, with every member having some level of toe webbing.
    Most species exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination, as is typical of turtles; however, one species (the wood turtle) is known to have genetic sex determination.

    they looked like the red ear sliders the ones that used to be in california arroyo seco. but lacking the red part and had pentagones with orangish colors its skin was Beautiful. it had claws and wouldnt bite. California has MANY undiscovered animals that are the Rarest in the world! and people have to make these ecosystem killing dams! what a damm shame!
