Pearl River Map Turtle (Graptemys pearlensis) Alabama, USA Status: Threatened

---

This badass turtle has been listed as Threatened in the US as of July this year. The rule also lists the Alabama map turtle, Barbour’s map turtle, Escambia map turtle, and Pascagoula map turtle as threatened due to "similarity of appearance".

Map turtles can only live for a few weeks at a time under the ice. To survive, they need to extract the oxygen dissolved in the water

To round off the four Undercity turts, Mikey! He is a yellow-blotched map turtle which makes him very spiky. He braids his mask tails cause the thinks it’s cool, not transfem cause men are aloud to be beautiful 😤

He is the most reckless when it comes to humans and the Overcity, and has been on the news more than once. But humanity knows about mutants so he doesn’t see it as a big deal. Mikey is the artist of the team and will often steal empty sketchbooks from stores and people since he can’t buy them himself.

He was the quickest to trust April, and second to trust Casey, just after Raph. He hopes for a future where he can live among the humans above without seeming like a monster more than his brothers.
