What is a "terrapin"?
A terrapin is a small to medium-sized turtle species that typically inhabits freshwater or brackish environments. It has a flattened shell, webbed feet, and a streamlined body, allowing it to navigate through water with ease. Terrapins are known for their ability to adapt to both land and water, often basking on logs or rocks and diving into the water when threatened. They feed on a variety of prey, including small aquatic animals and plants. With their unique characteristics and behaviors, terrapins play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of their habitats.
