Spiny softshells primarly live in rivers, but they have been seen in large lakes. They typically prefer river bottoms with sand/mud bottoms with lots of gravel because they spend much of their time hiding in the gravel, stalking prey or staying out of sight of other predators. You also might find a spiny softshell on a sandbar, basking in the sun or laying eggs.

Owing to the diversity in sea turtles species, their habitat extends over thousands of nautical miles in the various ocean bodies of the world. These turtles most often tend to inhabit the warm and temperate waters in the tropics and subtropics. Other than the deep oceans, sea turtles habitat also spans over the protected bays, estuaries and near shore waters. Some sea turtles species nest and feed in same area, whereas some migrate thousands of miles for foraging. For instance, Loggerhead species which nest off the Japanese coast, migrate to the waters off the Mexican coast in search of food. Leatherback Sea-Turtles have the ability to withstand cold temperatures, and hence they can easily survive the cold waters in south (Chile coast) and north (Alaskan coast). Sea turtles spend most of their life in the oceans. Although female species appear on the land to lay eggs during the hatching season, male species are seldom seen out of the water body.

There are a number of species of softshell turtle. They live in Asia, Africa, and North America. They are called softshells because they do not have the bony plates in their carapace, or shell.
