Species of turtle
The Chinese false-eyed turtle (Cuora trifasciata × Sacalia quadriocellata) is a hybrid species of turtle in the family Geoemydidae. It is a hybrid between a male golden coin turtle (Cuora trifasciata) and a female four-eyed turtle (Sacalia quadriocellata).[1] While formerly considered to be a wild type species believed to be originally from Hainan, it is now known only from pet trade type specimens.
