Ah, so they're box turtles in this iteration...

Interestingly, this species has three toes. They've always had three fingers, so I wonder if they originally were meant to be based on box turtles and not red-ears as believed. I suppose it's a little over-analytical though since Eastman and Laird probably weren't too concerned about the exact species at the time of their conception.
