The razorback musk turtle is a small, freshwater turtle species native to the southeastern United States, primarily known for the distinct keel or "razorback" along its carapace. These turtles are typically found in slow-moving rivers, swamps, and other aquatic habitats, and they have specialized glands that release a musky odor as a defense mechanism. Razorback musk turtles are omnivores, feeding on a variety of aquatic plants, insects, and small aquatic animals, and they are well-adapted to their semi-aquatic lifestyle in the southeastern wetlands.
