Coahuilan box turtle
The Coahuilan box turtle (''Terrapene coahuila''), or aquatic box turtle, is an endangered species of turtle in the Emydidae family. Unlike the other members of the genus ''Terrapene'', this turtle spends roughly 90% of its time in water.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Berg, William )〕
It is a close relative to the common box turtle (''T. carolina''). Researchers have therefore suggested that it developed from a nonaquatic species in order to survive in the desert springs of Cuatro Ciénegas.〔
==Geographic range==
It is endemic to the vicinity of Cuatro Ciénegas in Coahuila, Mexico. Within an area of less than 800 km² (300 sq mi), there are several distinct pockets of this species. During the rainy season, Coahuilan box turtles may leave their home range and travel throughout the desert.〔
