Semi-aquatic habitats are: saw edge \ maple leaf (ground turtle ) \ yellow margin \ yellow front \ Anbu and so on
There are more aquatic ones: Brazilian tortoise (Mississippi red-eared turtle)\ turtle \ flower turtle \ Asian giant turtle \ map \ eagle's beak \ large alligator turtle \ small alligator turtle \ eagle-billed turtle \ four-eyed spotted turtle \ yellow-throated imitation and so on
