Cuora serrata

Cuora serrata, originally described as Cuora galbinifrons serrata[1] and later considered a distinct species,[2] are hybrid turtles as shown by genetic studies.[3] These hybrids are bred in the wild (evolution in progress)[4] and were documented for the first time in the wild in 2005,[5] but not in captivity as "novelty" pets as suggested by James Parham and Bryan Stuart,[3][6] between the keeled box turtle and taxa of the Indochinese box turtle complex.[clarification needed] Unnamed hybrids of several other Cuora taxa are also known, as are intergeneric hybrids like Mauremys iversoni (the Fujian pond turtle),[7] a hybrid between Cuora trifasciata and Mauremys mutica which are intentionally produced in Chinese turtle farms.[6]
