Box turtle 箱龟属

Terrapene carolina carolina (young)
Size difference between the two subspecies of Terrapene ornata: T.o.ornata (left) and T.o.luteola (right).
Plastron of T.c.carolina showing the hinge (H) between abdominal (abd) and pectoral (pect) scales. Also the other scales (an=anal, fem=femural, hum=huminal, gul=gular) are shown.

Box turtles are turtles of the genus Terrapene native to North America (United States and Mexico). They are also known as box tortoises, although box turtles are terrestrial members of the American pond turtle family (Emydidae), and not members of the tortoise family (Testudinidae). The twelve taxa which are distinguished in the genus are distributed over four species. They are largely characterized by having a domed shell, which is hinged at the bottom, allowing the animal to close its shell tightly to escape predators. Box turtles have become popular pets, although their needs in captivity are complex. The females usually have yellowish, brown eyes and the males usually have red or orange eyes, but the most reliable manner to distinguish males from females is to examine the plastron; on males there is a concave area centered beneath the hinge.
