If you have lived in the Charleston area long enough, odds are that you have seen one of these critters around. We are lucky enough to have two residing on the USS Yorktown!  These turtles are diamondback terrapins. They come in a variety of colors and patterns and are native to South Carolina.  Did you know that no two shells are alike? They are just like finger prints!  

​Can you compare our two turtles? How are they alike? How are they different?
