Softshell turtles, belonging to the family Trionychidae, are known for their distinctive flat, leathery, and somewhat flexible shells. Unlike most turtles, their shells lack scales and are instead covered by a tough, leathery skin. They are often found in freshwater habitats, though some species can tolerate brackish water. #turtles #freshwaterfishing #reelsfacebook | Hendrix backyard TV
