    Painted Turtle

    The painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) is the most widespread native freshwater turtle species in North America. In Canada, it is found in all Canadian provinces except Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. It is abundant throughout much of its Canadian range and can be found in various aquatic habitats, including lakes, slow-flowing rivers and wetlands. The painted turtle is broken into three subspecies across Canada: the western painted turtle (Chrysemys picta bellii; BC, AB, SK, MB and ON), the midland painted turtle (Chrysemys picta marginata; ON and QC) and the eastern painted turtle (Chrysemys picta picta; NB and NS).
