On land, Indian Flap-shelled Turtle and Mud Turtle showcase unique shell patterns that blend seamlessly with their surroundings. Bumblebees also join this spotted parade; various species display distinctive coloration that aids in identification. The Spot Legged, Flapshell, and Helmeted Turtles continue this patterned spectacle within aquatic habitats.
