Glyptemys

Glyptemys is a genus of turtles in the family Emydidae. It comprises two species, the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) and the wood turtle (Glyptemys insculpta), both of which are endemic to North America. Until 2001, these turtles were considered members of the genus Clemmys, which currently has one member, the spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata).

When full-grown, turtles of the genus Glyptemys are between 8.9 and 20 cm (3.5 and 7.9 in) in straight carapace length. These turtles are semiaquatic, although this varies based on season. Their morphological characteristics make them unique from other species and unique from each other.

Glyptemys turtles prefer slow moving streams and ponds, and feed on insects, plant matter, small invertebrates, and carrion. These turtles are protected throughout their range, and both species in the genus Glyptemys are considered endangered.
