Found in estuaries, inhabiting tidal regions of large rivers. Although wild terrapins are omnivores, the majority of their diet consists of leafy vegetation and fruits (Refs. 128071, 128076). This species is heavily exploited both for its flesh and its large eggs, and also threatened by habitat destruction. It is severely depleted throughout its range and extirpated from many of their historical habitats (Ref. 128071). Found in estuaries, inhabiting tidal regions of large rivers. This species has limited physiological adaptability to high saline concentrations (not more than 20 ppt). Main nesting period occurs during dry season (November to March) when sand banks emerge (Ref. 128071).
