They are both omnivores, so they eat both fresh meat and plants. One common thing about these turtles is that they will eat almost everything.

One of the claws is used to crush shells and animals with hardened outsides such as clams and muscles to obtain some of the meat inside. The other claw is referred to as the feeder claw or pincher which is more maneuverable and transfers the aliment to its mouth.

    Natural selection could soon be in the hands of humans. In the 1970s, scientists began to isolate certain genes in DNA for the first time. Gene therapy arose in the 1980s as more researchers became curious. Gene therapy is defined as a "technique where the genes causing a defect are themselves substituted by correct genes in the patient to cure a disease" (Macer, 1990).
