🗺️Our advice? Don’t take direction from a false map turtle (Graptemys pseudogeographica).

🐢This critter’s name refers to the (non-navigational) pattern on its carapace. It can be spotted in rivers, lakes, or ponds in Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The turtle enjoys spending its time basking in the Sun and munching on insects, fish, or aquatic vegetation.
