Dragonfruit

Diamondback Terrapin
Dragonfruit, a Diamondback Terrapin, has been a lively ambassador of River Legacy’s Discovery Room for nearly a year. Named for her striking spotted skin, she captivates visitors with her energetic swimming. Though a carnivore by nature, she enjoys sneaking a few turtle pellets alongside her shellfish diet. Curious and inquisitive, she’s always observing her tankmates, making her a favorite among guests. As an endangered species in Texas, Dragonfruit plays a vital role in educating visitors about conservation. By sponsoring her, you help support her care and raise awareness about protecting native wildlife.
