  • The chicken turtle (Deirochelys reticularia) is a turtle native to the southeastern United States. It is the only extant member of the genus Deirochelys and is a member of the freshwater marsh turtle family Emydidae. The chicken turtle's scientific name refers to its extremely long neck and distinctive net-like pattern on its upper shell. There are three regionally distinct subspecies (eastern, western and Florida), which are thought to have evolved when populations became separated during periods of glaciation. These subspecies can be distinguished by their appearance; the western chicken turtle displays dark markings along the seams of its plastron (lower shell), while the plastron of the Florida subspecies is a bright yellow or orange color. Fossil records show that the chicken turtle has been present in the region for up to five million years. Chicken turtles inhabit shallow, still or slow-moving bodies of water with plenty of vegetation and a muddy substrate. They are not found in rivers or deeper lakes that may be home to predators such as alligators and large fish. The chicken turtle is predominantly carnivorous and feeds mostly on invertebrates such as crayfish, dragonflies and spiders, but is also known to eat tadpoles, carrion and occasionally plant material. It is an active hunter and its long neck allows it to catch fast-moving prey. Although feeding and mating take place in aquatic environments, the chicken turtle is very well adapted to living on land and may spend more than half the year out of the water. Like many reptiles, it spends much of the day basking in the sun to regulate its body temperature, but unlike most other aquatic turtles, it hibernates over the winter months except in the warmer, southernmost reaches of its range. The chicken turtle is relatively small compared to other related turtles, with males measuring up to around 16.5 cm (6.5 in) and females around 26.0 cm (10.2 in). It is also one of the world's shortest-lived turtles, reaching a maximum age of 20–24 years. There are thought to be around 100,000 adult chicken turtles in the wild. Although the population as a whole is considered secure, its status in some areas is less certain and several states have listed it as threatened or introduced regulations to manage hunting or taking. The word "chicken" in the turtle's vernacular name is apparently a reference to the taste of its meat, which was once popular in turtle soup and commonly sold in southern markets. (en)

  • Kycklingsköldpadda (Deirochelys reticularia) är en sköldpaddsart som beskrevs av Pierre André Latreille 1801. Kycklingsköldpadda ingår i släktet Deirochelys, och familjen kärrsköldpaddor. Kycklingsköldpadda förekommer i USA, i sydöstra Virginia, längs med atlantiska kustslätten i södra North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, gulfkusten i Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, östra Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas och sydöstra Missouri. Den är en sötvattenssköldpadda som lever vid både permanenta och temporära dammar, sjöar, diken och i våtmarker. Som fullvuxen kan en hona mäta upp till 25 centimeter. Hanarna är mindre och mäter upp till 15 centimeter. Ett kännetecken för arten är också att den har en lång hals. (sv)
