Glyptemys is a genus of freshwater turtles native to North America, consisting of two species: the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) and the wood turtle (Glyptemys insculpta). Known for their textured, sculpted shells, bog turtles are small with dark shells and distinctive orange or yellow neck patches, while wood turtles are larger with a reddish-orange body and shells resembling carved wood. They inhabit wetlands, bogs, and forested areas near slow-moving streams. While bog turtles are more reclusive, wood turtles are often seen on land. Both species face threats from habitat loss and illegal collection, making their conservation a priority.
