The rough-footed mud turtle (Kinosternon hirtipes)^[1] is a species of mud turtle in the familyKinosternidae. The species is native to the southwestern United States and adjacent northern Mexico.

Kinosternon hirtipes is found in the United States in Texas, and it is also found in Mexico in the Mexican states of Aguascalientes, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Mexico DF, Durango, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Mexico State, Michoacán, Morelos, and Zacatecas.

As an omnivore, the diet of Kinosternon hirtipes primarily consists of vegetation and insects including filamentous algae, seeds and fruits, aquatic, terrestrial, flying arthropods, as well as aquatic gastropods. K. hirtipes undergoes a dietary shift from insects to vegetation as body size increases which facilitates rapid growth. Although male K. hirtipes are larger in size than females, both sexes share a dietary overlap consuming similar foods.^[3]

Based on tracks around kill sites, bite marks and shell damage it has been determined that the main predators of Kinosternon hirtipes are raccoons (Procyon lotor) and feral pigs (Sus scrofa). Not surprisingly, both raccoons and pigs are known to hunt several other species of turtle. K. hirtipes seems to be relatively "immune" to predation but are at the highest risk when coming out of the water to nest.^[4]

Six subspecies of Kinosternon hirtipes are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.^[5]
