This is called the plastron. If the plastron is convex, meaning it's slightly bent in an outward direction, the turtle is probably a female. If the plastron is concave, meaning it's rounded inward toward the inside of the body, then the turtle is most likely a male.<br /><br />The reasoning behind this is that the female's convex plastron provides more room for eggs, while the male's concave plastron fits better over the female's when mating.edlfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859730659143852274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-45013102540808529882014-06-10T00:21:36.597-05:002014-06-10T00:21:36.597-05:00What a wonderful day you had; beautiful photos!

He was actually going at quite a clip. Jack just watched it and looked at me as if to say what the heck is that. I love to watch geese or any water fowl for that matter. I love to read stories about their formations and how one will stay behind with an injured goose...and love to hear them honk as they fly overhead.

Since we saw so many lovely pink ones, I've been hoping to see the yellow as well but they will be gone from where you are by the time I can get there to see them. So thanks for such great pictures. And of the turtle too. You only get a hint of the wonderful colors if you don't look really closely. The designs in nature are just amazing.
