There's actually nothing that is similar to a turtle. All your images are of "real" turtles (and at least two different species). I don't recollect the Trionysiliensis name, but it looks like some sort of softshell turtle. I'll check in a book of mine when I get home from work.

These guys are really hard to keep as pets because their soft shells are susceptible to fungal attacks which demands very high water quality. The Florida softshell having a maximum carapace length of about 30"/75cm might be a problem too... Anyway, they are cool animals and can swim super fast if they want.
