I never heard of it but I found this.JacksonR said:
"Terrapene coahuila is known as the Coahuila box turtle, Aquatic box turtle, or the Water box turtle. This species of box turtle has a very small geographical range which is located in the Cuatro Cienegas basin in Coahuila, Mexico. This turtle is by far the most uncommon Terrapene turtle. It spends a large portion of its life in its surrounding water sources. The color of this turtle is general at best. It will walk along the bottom of the pond just like it is on land. It rarely swims. This turtle has no beak on the upper jaw. This turtle has four claws on the rear legs and five on the front. This box turtle has some very unique qualities to it. It will run into the water when frightened and move rapidly to the bottom of the water source and bury itself in the mud. This turtle is listed as CITES I."
