Northern Diamondback terrapins are turtles with diamond-shaped markings and grooves on the scutes (plates) of their carapaces (top shells), which range from medium gray or brown to nearly black.
Their skin color is a pale to dark gray or black, flecked with dark spots, blotches or stripes. The hingeless plastron (bottom shell) is yellow to green or black and may be marked with dark blotches. No two individual diamondback terrapins are exactly alike in coloration and pattern.
Their feet are strongly webbed; the hind feet are especially large and flat. These large webbed feet and muscular legs make terrapins strong swimmers, a necessary ability when living in an environment with daily tidal changes and strong currents.
