The Blanding's Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) was named after it's discoverer. It is a is medium-sized turtle with a length of 8 to 10 inches and weighing up to 3 pounds. Emydoidea blandingii is semi-aquatic. It prefers open, grassy marshes containing shallow water, but it will, on occasion, move to ground adjacent to water to forage or bask in the sun. While in the water, it feeds on crustaceans, snails, insects, frogs, and fishes. Crayfish appear to be a preferred food when available. When on land, however, it consumes earthworms, grass, berries, and other succulent vegetation.
