This morning I was out by the Muskegon river and noticed three Painted Turtles about 8 inches long and 6 inches wide, traveling together. They were traveling slowly upriver under the water's surface and bumping into each other. Is this typical for turtle mating? Any comments?
Some of my favorite tunes.

I have no ideas about turtles, but it only takes two I always thought.
In Painted Turtle courtship the male will circle the female, trying to stroke the female's head & neck with its claws. If she approves of this mate she will claw back. This is all underwater of course. Maybe you saw something like this.
