Pseudemys concinna metteri Cooters are "basking" turtles. When it's not too warm or cold, they climb out of the river to bask in the sun. You'll see them from a distance in groups on logs and rocks. They plop back in as soon as they see you coming. These Missouri River Cooters look like "kissing" turtles. Size: Females to 13.25" |
