Woah! An Original Character I created for Rottmnt??? Nooowayyyyy!!

Her name is Beth. She was to be one of Baron Draxums experiments, to be mutated into a warrior like the other 4. But sense she was a female, Baron Draxum did not think she would ever be strong enough to be a warrior, even potentially after mutation. So he left the little turtle for other experiments. But when the lab exploded some of the ooz landed on Beth, mutating her into a child-like creature. She has lived alone and scavenged for 14 years.

This is her species photo! Bog Turtle!

Isn't it so CUTE!?? 😍 And its eyes are so big!!!

Some animal (but mostly herpetology) Valentine Cards I made through the power of Snapchat. NOT ALL IMAGES ARE MINE! Also some of these are inside jokes but I think they can still be appreciated.

Hear me out , Shelldon but he’s ends up becoming a mutant turtle like the brothers. A Bog turtle to be exact. He is very small standing at 3’9”

Intro post! My name is P. or Pikari and this will be a new project blog. Expect mini-portraits of endangered and threatened animals, like this guy, the bog turtle, native to N. America.

So I just had to sketch my girl cause I love her and these where actually super fun. I’ve never really sketched as a doodle digitally so it was interesting

Here is also a shaded version cause I have no chill 💀

@catboybiologist LITTLE GUY

Meet one of the planet’s smallest turtles: the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii)! This petite reptile grows up to 4.5 in (11.4 cm) long. It’s easily identifiable by the orange patches on either side of its head.

The bog turtle has an impressive lifespan, with the oldest documented individual reaching an age of 61! Unfortunately, this species is critically endangered due in part to poaching and habitat loss as a result of human expansion.

The boggiest of turtles

Okay, my time has come.

I've run through the list of North American turtle species and I think the Bog Turtle is the closest match. They have this single orange blob mark where Leo would have his red one.

Fun fact: the Bog Turtle is the state reptile of New Jersey lmao

And there's the Spotted Turtle. I've seen some people suggesting that too. Their patterns look a lot like Box Turtles', specially Ornate Box Turtles' (Mikey's species), and people have also been saying that her design looks like Mikey's sooo...

If she turns out to be a Spotted Turtle, I'll excuse her big glossy lips and eyelashes.

I know the boys are all turtle species native to the USA, and not land turtles either, but also if anyone here is Brazillian and wants to go wild with headcanons, she could be a jabuti :]

THEY'RE SO CUTE!!!

My job here is done. Here's if you want to see the Mutant Mayhem turtles' species too
