Artist's notes:
 I
did a rough sketch of this image in 2004, but didn't work
up a formal drawing until 2008 when I got formal permission
from the photographer Dick Bartlett, who is a very talented
herp photographer.

Information about the Ornate Diamondback
Terrapin:
Ornate Diamondback Terrapins are a medium sized turtle
native to brackish coastal swamps of the eastern and southern
US. It ranges from Massachusetts to Florida. This turtle
gets it's name from the intricate diamond pattern on the
top of it's shell. It is a carnivore, feeding mainly on
mollusks, crabs and small fish. The terrapin can crush tough
shells due to the bony plates they have on their upper and
lower mandibles.
