Many taxonomists often combine genus Sternotherus with Kinosternon as sub- genera of the Family Kinosternidae. While these animals share many of the same habitats, features and care requirements, for the purpose of this care sheet they will be treated as a full Genus. Musk turtles can be found from the Canadian Southern border to Florida and West to the Rocky Mountains. These species are more carnivorous than most turtles with a natural diet that relies heavily on fish, snails, crustaceans and insects. While the Razor-back Musk turtle can attain a size of 15 cm. (6 inches), the much more commonly seen Stinkpot only attains 8 - 10 cm (3 - 4 inches) maximum.

There are two types of hairless guinea pigs. Skinny pigs, which are not totally hairless but have some "fuzz" on them and baldwins, who start out full of hair and as they mature they lose it all accept I think the whiskers.
