It's amazing that new species are being discovered in the U.S!

Looks like a hybrid map turtle...cool.

Pearl river maps have long been know as the ultimate beauties in the map turtles, the heads on those guys are amazing. I know this because I have long admired them and have thought about getting some CBBs, but when I saw them for sale a couple years ago they were quit pricey. So its not a new discovery, but it's great that they finally got there own distinction. Thanks tons for sharing, that is great news for turtle geeks, like me, lol.
