Traveling across the Rio Grande, I found this turtle walking around. It was by itself and was very sensitive to movement. Family: Emydidae
Was seen darting in and out of leaf litter on the University of Texas El Paso landscaped area. Moved quickly then became very still on rocks. Has teal blue markings on underbelly.

The leaves were very fuzzy and soft. Had a very green/earthy smell on the leaves too.
