Creaser's mud turtle (Cryptochelys creaseri)

A little-known Yucatán endemic, Creaser's mud turtle (Cryptochelys creaseri) resides in temporary forest pools, roadside ditches, and deep haltunes (natural pits and wells in limestone). We are studying a large metapopulation of Creaser's mud turtles in the Puuc region of southern Yucatán.
