Male river cooters are known to use their long claws to stroke the female's face during the initiation of courtship. Often, this gesture is ignored. However, if the male is accepted, the female will sink to the bottom of the river and allow the male to mate with her. After several weeks, the female will seek a nesting spot on land for her to lay between 12 and 20 eggs. River cooter hatchlings are omnivorous, consuming both plant and animal matter, but once they reach adulthood they become largely herbivorous.
