This means the exact location for each observation is masked somewhat within the red box that shows up on the standard browser viewer. IΓÇÖm happy to provide more habitat description if requested ΓÇö as the map may not be too precise in the public view. A REQUEST: When recommending an identification, please adhere to current standards of taxonomy as deployed by iNaturalist at this time ΓÇö as opposed to identifying and classifying organisms based on personal beliefs about what taxonomy can, should, or of right ought to be in opposition to iNaturalistΓÇÖs current taxonomy. Comments noting such taxonomic disagreements, however, are welcomed and encouraged. I prefer my observations to be inline with current taxonomic standards as deployed by iNaturalist (as opposed to my personal beliefs) so that this and other observations are readily accessible to iNaturalist users with greater efficiency and usability. This has been an issue in the past with some folks in the herpetological circles. Thanks! If you have any questions regarding this observation, feel free to contact me or leave a comment below!

Occurrence Remarks: Sarasota Christmas Bird Count with Valeri Ponzo, Sue Guarasci, Mary Heinlen, and Carolyn Primus. I did not record the weather at any time, but it was partly cloudy and cool in the morning, becoming sunny and warm in the afternoon. Nor did I record any notes on the spots we visited, which were numerous (my pen was out of ink). But since I have done this CBC a number of times, I can reconstruct our itinerary (arrival and departure times are dependent on my photograph timestamps). Only those spots where I took one or more photographs are listed): 0715-0950: John and Mabel Ringling Museum of Art -- By far our best area. But high tide was in the morning, and the banyan hammocks were really quiet of landbirds. Because the museum grounds are also a botanical garden, I was careful to include only non-cultivated species. Also, I was carrying my scope, severely limiting my ability to take cell-phone photographs. 1038-1105: New lake east of Sun Hydraulics -- We found sea ducks here. 1136-1157: New College (northern part) -- The tide was still high, inundating all but one small mudflat. We left quickly. 1224-1255: Charles Hegener Memorial Nature Walk -- A short 20-foot wide walk to Sarasota Bay. The vegetation is a mix of native coastal strand and various exotics that have moved in from the adjacent neighborhood. 1303-1308: Beach Park 1312-1321: Whitaker Greenway Park -- Most of the park was fenced off, resulting in a very quick visit. 1326-1438: Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall/Rampa Lido Key Waterfront Park -- We saw some waterbirds here --including one that was studied closely -- and we ate lunch here. 1538: Retention pond east of Booker T. Washington School. 1609-1613: Pond at the southwest corner of Bradenton Road and Mecca Drive. 1633-1709: Field south of the lake east of Sun Hydraulics/Sun Hydraulics -- The field was recently mowed, so we found only one Savannah Sparrow. 1729-1804: Heron roost at the Sarasota Lakes RV Resort -- we arrived at least 30 minutes too late to see the birds fly in. We ended the day with 72 species.; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 173.00000.

GBIFID: 3301908174; Occurrence Remarks: Oval-shaped and fairly large; around 1.5 feet. I first saw her in the water, but then she came up on land and crawled towards me. She was FAST! I have a big lake that wraps around my whole neighborhood and it is filled with turtles, birds, alligators, and lots of fish. She appeared to be brown, but her body had a very slight green tint to it. No reproductive structures spotted. Once I got closer, she bolted back into the water. She had a very long neck which accounted for a good portion of her size and his nose was long, thin, and snout-like. Her shell was not round, but rather flat and oval-shaped. Based on research, the females are larger than the males which is why I have been referring to her as a she. Males are around 6-12inches, while females are around 11-24 inches. These critters can be found in lakes, streams, and canals. Sources: https://srelherp.uga.edu/turtles/apafer.htm;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 215.00000.

It also appeared that the turtle had dug a burrow and was laying eggs. The carapace color was light to dark brown, and a row of bony ridges under and along the center of the carapace was present. This turtle was found in a grassy area next to a man-made freshwater lake. Here is a description of Florida Softshell Turtles from the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory of the University of Georgia: Like other softshells, the Florida softshell turtle (Apalone ferox) is a large, flat turtle with skin covering its shell (resembling a pancake).... females measuring double that at 11-24 inches (28-61 cm). Adults are usually colored by a dark brown to brownish-gray with dark spots. Also there are usually small dark bumps on the carapace.

GBIFID: 2611079663; Occurrence Remarks: This organism was spotted about 30 meters from a pond at Ragan Park near Ybor City in Tampa, Florida. It was very far away compared to other turtles that I have seen at this pond, and was in the shade, so I decided to inspect it to see if it was injured as there was a road nearby and it was facing away from the road. It has thinly webbed feat that poked out of the front of its shell and wrinkly skin that engulfed its head as it retracted it back into its shell. Its back feet and tail could only be seen slightly, which is unusual if the turtle was basking. It had a light, creamy tan colored carapace that was smooth and shiny and fairly flat. Its carapace was approximately 53cm in length and about 28cm wide at the center. It did not appear startled at all by me, which was alarming and instead sat without walking away. Earlier this week I saw a dead softshell turtle, so it may have been sick because Ragan Parks water is highly polluted with garbage and other waste. Upon cloer inspection, it seemed to have a smell like rotting flesh and a small bit of pus dripped from its shell. I picked it up to see if it had been hit by a car/ if it needed rehabilitated but it was not bleeding and appeared fine otherwise. I brought it closer to the water and it ran away and dove into the water like it was just fine, so hopefully that is the case.;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 4.00000.

GBIFID: 2641443328; Occurrence Remarks: The Florida Softshell Turtle (Apalone ferox) is a native species of turtle that is found only in the southeastern part of the United States but mostly in Florida due to its natural humid climate and abundance of freshwater environments. This species of turtle is unique due to its long and skinny snout-like nose and softshell. According to the University of Michigans Museum of Zoology, there is sexual dimorphism marked, with females much larger than males. With this in mind, I believe the one shown, is a female due to its larger stature when compared to other turtles. Citation: Stewart, H. (n.d.). Apalone ferox (Florida Softshell Turtle).

Identifying characteristics of this family include a heavily reduced plastron, freshwater or brackish water habitat with soft, muddy bottoms, flattened, reduced shells that lack peripheral bones and scutes on the carapace, which are instead covered with leathery skin. They have very long retractable necks and elongated, snorkel-like nostrils, which is how I indentified this individual. This feature allows them to reach their head to the surface to breath while remaining at the bottom of a shallow pond. They have paddle-like limbs with 3 claws per foot. This individual was at edge of Lake Alice, in water maybe 2 feet deep. It was staying mostly still. It was observed in cool conditions (upper 50s F) at dusk.;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 15.00000.

Two smaller turtles and a waterfowl nearby. Class: Reptilia - scaled tetrapod Order: Testudines - presence of a bony shell Suborder: Cryptodira - Family characteristics are clear and specific enough to the family that the suborder can be intuited. Family: Trionychidae - Shell is flattened and lacks distinct scutes - Snorkel-like rostrum In the case that it was not already clear that the turtle was a softshell, the suborder would have needed to be determined by observing how the head retracts. The number of scutes on the plastron would work for other cryptodires, but not for identification in Trionychidae due to the lack of distinct scutes.;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 29458.00000.

GBIFID: 2429292005; Occurrence Remarks: The turtle swam to the edge of the pond where I was standing, along with many others of its species. It probably gets fed a lot, as the pond is within an apartment complex. It was at the end of the day, almost dark, and not as hot. Class: Anapsida Order: Testudines- shell Family: Trionychidae- snorkel-like snout, flat shell, long neck;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 10.00000.

GBIFID: 2429343147; Occurrence Remarks: This turtle was swimming in an apartment complex pond off of 34th street. It was pretty cool outside as it was almost sundown and had just sprinkled a bit outside. Very hesitant, it swam deeper into the pond with human approach. But I did see that the soft shell turtle had a flattened body with a long neck and elongated head. I identified this organism to the class reptilia due to seeing its carapace (top shell) which is normally covered in hard scales called scute, but in this case was leathery. And because I recognized the carapace of the shell I was able to identify the organism to the order Testudines. Despite the head being outside the shell, I know this turtle is in suborder Cryptodira due to no pleurodira being in North America. Also, I knew the family of this turtle thanks to lab. I found it easy to identify this turtle due to its soft, pancake like shell which is characteristic of family Trionychidae.;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 5.00000.

GBIFID: 1836692668; Occurrence Remarks: This animal is clearly a turtle, but the softshell diagnosis came the way the light seemed to reflect off the carapace and the snout of the turtle. Its shell seemed more leathery than the shells of turtles more commonly seen in the area, and its snout was long and pointy, resembling a snorkel. These traits are characteristic of members of the Family Trionychidae, the softshell turtles. I was able to further narrow it down to the species level by looking at the multiple North American varieties and picking which species most closely resembled the individual in my photo.;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 516.00000.
