Thank you for looking!
There is only one place I know where I can consistently find these large turtles. I did not find out what they were called until just today.I had thought they were a larger variety of a Painted Turtle.But there coloration is different and they have grooved in maps on their shell rather than the smoother more green Painted Turtle.
Hillman Marsh. This North American turtle is considered to be an endangered species throughout much of its range.The most significant threats to the Blanding's Turtle are loss or fragmenting of habitat, motor vehicles, and raccoons and foxes that prey on eggs.
Illegal collection for the pet trade is also a serious threat. Blanding's Turtles are slow breeders - they don't start to lay eggs until they are in their teens or twenties - so adult deaths of breeding age adults can have major impacts on the species.
(I just noticed a Painted Turtle in the bottom left hand corner :-)
no turtles were harmed in the creation of this photo album-- they were animal print tiles

This green turtle was one of 20 this particular day that crawled on the Hookipa Park beach on Maui, Hawaii to rest. The turtle had just come ashore and was about to drop its head to sleep.
The green turtle is listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Major nesting is done in the French Frigate Shoals but some goes on right here in HI and we ran into one ranger going on a 'turtle nest watch.'
Race Car Bob was a Kansas box turtle we found in our garage after we forgot to close the garage door one autumn night. We kept him with us for a month and then let him go back to nature. He sure was a funny fellow.
I was leaving local park when this big fella decided to cross my path. Made sure I stopped traffic so it could make it safely across the road. (Cell phone capture)
This box turtle had been digging nests, plus it had gotten a little too cold so it was apparently sleeping.
...or at least ready for takeoff...
There is growing evidence that turtles have a secret desire to fly. There have been several eye witness accounts and actual images of said turtles, practicing what appears to be flight postures, with legs and head elevated.
This theory is in the process of being investigated. ..... :)
See another image of a turtle trying to fly in 1st comment box :)
This little guy is at a place where they rehabilitate wild animals that are found, the place has been there since my kids were little, I guess it's a good thing that most of the cages were empty, only 4 or so occupied, means less in need of help... my Grandson enjoyed the trek around and up to the park... so it was cool, made for some good pics...
