  Sonoyta mud turtle (Kinosternon sonoriense longifemorale)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Sonoyta mud turtle is one of two recognized subspecies of the Sonoran mud turtle, an aquatic species which evolved in one of the driest regions of North America.
The status of the Mexico populations of mud turtles is not known, but loss of flows, groundwater pumping, livestock grazing, and pesticide contamination may be affecting this population as well.
Pesticide and heavy metal residues have also been found in Sonoyta mud turtles within the U.S. population, which may be a factor in their decline.

In June or July of 1751, after a short stay in Tubutama, Father Ruhen was assignes to Sonoyta, the westernmost of the old Kino missions, in the lands of the Papagos.
Although Father Ruhen was almost certainly accompainted by either Father Sedelmayr or a soldier on his first journey to Sonoyta, we have no record of the journey, or of his work at that station, although he almost certainly was busy rehabilitating the physical plant there, in addition to his missionary duties.
It is notable that the legendary material heard in the vicinity of Sonoyta is in substantil agreement with nearly-contemporary documents; whereas that heard at some distance from Sonoyta is likely to be somewhat out of phase with anything verifiagle by either field library research.
