Terrapins are aquatic turtles that inhabit freshwater environments such as rivers, lakes, and marshes. They have a more domed shell and webbed feet compared to tortoises. Terrapins are omnivorous, feeding on a mix of aquatic plants, insects, and small fish. They are well-adapted to their semi-aquatic lifestyle, with strong swimming capabilities and the ability to regulate their body temperature.
