Peninsular Cooter vs. Florida Red-bellied Cooter

Florida Red-bellied Cooters live in the same lakes in the far south-east. A: Yellow lines and bars on a dark shell in the Peninsular Cooter; broad red or orange bars in the Florida Red-bellied Cooter. B: Many yellow stripes, looping into hairpins on top in the Peninsular Cooter; few, wide yellow stripes in the Florida Red-bellied Cooter. Turn it over: the Peninsular's lower shell is plain yellow, the Florida Red-bellied's reddish.
