I looked it up a little while ago and got told that it was a myth that came out in the early 70's.

I asked my marine biology teacher and he also said there is no such thing.

And that it is a under-fed turtle.

  1. No, there is no such species.


  2. penny turtles are baby turtles just out of the egg (such as the one in the picture in the above link)

    there a myth or misidentified babies thats all. some places call babies turtles "penny turtles" but its a reference to there size not them being a different species. i think thats where the confusion comes from
