Yesterday at 2:26 PM (9/10/2018) I discovered a baby Flattened Musk Turtle, (Sternotherus depressus) in an undisclosed location in Bankhead National Forest, AL. The way I found it is because it was in between a branch and a rock underwater, and I looked closer and seen it was a turtle. Flattened Musk Turtles are a critically endangered turtle that inhabits a small range in the Black Warrior System of Alabama. Photo took with a IPhone SE.
