:-) :-) :-) :-)

i used our very own reptile identification guide and found this under "marsh terrapin"

"Geographic Distribution
South Africa (Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, North West, Northern Cape, Western Cape"


hence my comment about not being sure about whether or not it occurs in kruger ........

:O^ :O^ :O^ :O^ :O^ :O^

i am not sure if kruger is in any of the mentioned provinces or perhaps it occurs in kruger as a rare vagrant ...

:-? :-? :-? :-? :-? :-?
