Mesoclemmys nasuta is a species of turtle that lives in Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and the Guyanas (north-eastern South America).^[2]^[4]

A study found that this durophagous species (feeding on hard-shelled animals) had the highest bite force out of 28 species measured, at 432 N (97 lbf).^[5]
