ミナミイシガメ
Meanings
1
yellow pond turtle (Mauremys mutica)
usually written using kana alone
Refers to the species Mauremys mutica, a freshwater turtle native to East Asia. In Japanese, typically written in katakana as ミナミイシガメ.
The yellow pond turtle is not a species endemic to Japan.
I saw a yellow pond turtle at the pet shop.
