|
Mauremys rivulata Stomach contents of Mauremys rivulata were analyzed by stomach flushing technique. Mauremys rivulata is an omnivorous species, with food items including aquatic insects and their larvae, amphibians and plants. Juvenile turtles were strictly carnivorous and larger ones shifted to a more herbivorous diet. Animal remains found in juveniles were more diverse, consisting of at least six different species of insects and amphibians, while larger animals consumed at the most of three different animal species.
