Akumal - Place of the Turtle in Mayan

Green turtles and loggerheads come to lay their eggs along the beach. We may go to Akumal to swim with the turtles. 

Q. and I are trying to find out what other turtles live in the Yucatan--

Here is the list of all the turtles that live in the Yucatan.  Estoy un poco confundido sobre "scorpion mud turtle"? Does it sting like a scorpoion? Roll in the mud? I assume mud turtles hang out in the mud? We are now really confused...they are quite beautiful, not muddy and appear not to sting. In fact their shells are beautiful. Their plastron (that is the word for the bottom shell can be dark, or yellow, or have beautiful patterns).
