The Sonora mud turtle (Kinosternon sonoriense), also known as the Sonoyta mud turtle, is a species of turtle in the Kinosternidae family. It is found in Mexico and the United States . The Sonoran mud turtle species is heavily influenced by its environment. Depending on the amount of water available due to fixed water sources or rainfall, is how tolerant the mud turtle is to drought. The species drought tolerance is extremely variable, depending on its environment.

Distribution

  • Mexico: Chihuahua and Sonora.
  • United States: Arizona and New Mexico (extirpated in California ).

Subspecies

  • Sonora mud turtle (subspecies) - Kinosternon sonoriense sonoriense (Le Conte, 1854)
  • Sonoyta mud turtle - Kinosternon sonoriense longifemorale (Inverson, 1981)
