Swamp Turtles are tall, passive creatures that can be found in The Swamp. They travel alone or in pairs. In the South Wetlands, they can be found in groups of 6. Unlike all other animals in Kenshi Swamp Turtles do not have a weapon assigned to them. Because of this the game instead gives them a random ancient quality weapon instead. (Due to this you'll find Swamp Turtles with + and - attack/defense depending on which weapon they spawned with)
