Cyclemys, commonly referred to as Asian leaf turtles, is a genus of freshwater turtles from the family Geoemydidae. The genus occurs throughout Southeast and South Asia and currently contains seven species.
Asian leaf turtles average at 25 centimetres (9.8 in) in length. They are mostly brown to greenish in color, with round to rectangular shells. Their carapace bears a superficial resemblance to plant leaves, hence their common name. They can be found around shallow, slow-moving bodies of water in hilly forests. Adults are primarily terrestrial, though juveniles are more aquatic.
