One morning while looking for Mexican Hog nosed snakes six of these Ornate Box Turtles were seen crossing the road. These are a protected species in Arizona and always fun to see.

This big ol' one-eyed snapping turtle was found along a road in Westminster. It was rescued from certain doom by one of our kindly bio lab assistants and will soon be living in a nearby park. He's enjoying a fresh spinach leaf.
Woah, my turtle! She's HUGE, and eats only meat and fish. Beware, she's dangerous. She should be about ten years old now...I bought her with another turtle: they were called Tarta and Ruga ( Tartaruga=turtle in Italian). Unfortunately, Tarta died ^_^'
Per gli italiani: Ecco la mia enorme tartaruga Ruga, che mangia solo carne, è vecchia ed è pericolosa. Ne avevo due: Tarta e Ruga X'D ma Tarta morta ^_^'
He must have felt lazy today...I got within about five feet of him before he slid back into the pond. =)
London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo. It was opened in London on 27 April 1828, and was originally intended to be used as a collection for scientific study. It was eventually opened to the public in 1847 Today it houses a collection of 755 species of animals, with 15,104 individuals, making it one of the largest collections in the United Kingdom.
It is managed under the aegis of the Zoological Society of London (established in 1826), and is situated at the northern edge of Regent's Park , on the boundary line between City of Westminster and Camden (the Regent's Canal runs through it). The Society also has a more spacious site at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire to which the larger animals such as elephants and rhinos have been moved. As well as being the first scientific zoo, ZSL London Zoo also opened the first Reptile house (1849), first public Aquarium (1853), first insect house (1881) and the first children's zoo (1938).
ZSL receives no state funding and relies on 'Fellows', 'Friends', 'Members', entrance fees and sponsorship to generate income.
