Small turtle on the edge of the La Crosse River Marsh in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Alarming discovery I made while walking my dog this morning.

This specimen was captured in a hoop trap set at ecology camp. It must have been an old individual as it pretty much lacked any amount of middorsal keeling.

It was confirmed that he is a male red-eared slider turtle.

The guy who set up the tank told me I could get a female turtle that size for 15 kd at Souq Al-Hamam or Friday Market.

I think that the place is too small for two turtles of that size. I would like to build a pond in the garden in the near future and perhaps then I will get him a mate

These were the adult turtles they let you feed if you wanted

Almost in-situ, this handsome male was sitting in the middle of the dirt road chomping down on an earthworm when found.

This turtle was inexplicable found along the inside of the fence by Portable Building 6. The staff in PB2 rescued the turtle and returned it to its pond habitat.

Preferring the seemingly rapid waters of the rivers in missouri, this species is seldom seen on land. And may be rarer than previously thought. This one had actually just finished burying her eggs.

This beautiful big turtle was evidently looking to make a nest and crawling across my outdoor riding arena.

Turtles swimming in an enclosure at the turtle farm on Grand Cayman. I believe this was the breeding pool. This was day 5 of our cruise on board the Carnival Conquest.

American Turtles (terrapins) became popular as pets because of a cartoon series in the UK some years ago . The owners did not realise that they grew to the size of a dinner plate and lived for forty years. Many ended up being put in ponds were they are an alien species competing with the local wildlife.

This is the first spotted turtle I have ever seen.

Why did it cross the road?

Seen at Sea World Orlando

Found this turtle while checking out a new bridge they are buiding on my road.

Turtle looks so mean in this picture. (He's really not!)

This was a fiesty turtle!

The sea turtle is a very majestic creature. It can also be quite intimidating when you see one close up, and watch it use its powerful jaws to chew a huge clump of grass right in front of you. This was taken in Akumal in Mexico in a spot where people came to snorkel just to see the turtles. They were everywhere. The younger ones were a little skittish when you got close, but the older ones could really care less if you were nearby or not. This particular one let me dive down and hang out with him long enough to get plenty of good photos.

This hawksbill turtle was donated to the Herbert’s natural history collection in the 1980s.
