Learn to ID Turtles

We have 8 species of turtles in Ontario.

Each have very unique features, but some of them look like one another at a distance or under water, and for some species, it can be hard to tell males and females apart. Learn how to identify them with us!

Once you are finished, please click your browser's "back button" to return to the previous page.
