Sea turtle swimming right towards me in the water

Someone brought their new turtle into the office today. I think I'm in love.

I think this belongs on cuteoverload.

It’s huddled right in the corner of its glass enclosure, providing a challenge for cropping and brushing out reflections. Could you tell it’s behind glass by looking at this now?

The edge of shell, the carapace-edge (marginal) scutes, have a nice red design - these appear as the turtle age, it looks like it has been painted on and is where their name comes from.

Found on sidewalk and taken to pond. This was before I figured out that the camera was taking tiny photos by default.

Turtle comes out of water to warm in the spring sunshine

Turtles are back out. This one I had to photograph because of the bold orange coloring.

Another view of the turtle I got off the road last Sunday - a nice head-on view.

No sudden moves for this guy or gal. Be very slow and don't scare the automobiles.

(-corrected -) I'm not sure of the breed of this turtle. I think it is a box turtle, correct me if I'm wrong.<- corrected-)

It is a Box turtle.

I ended up stomping on him because I couldn't pry him out of his shell.

Just kidding! I could pry him out of his shell and did so I could have turtle soup when I got home.

STILL kidding! I killed him just to watch him die, like the guy in Reno I shot one time.

Still kidding. I love turtles. I just got a few pics and left him alone.

Please don't kill turtles!

The Indian Roofed Turtle (Kachuga tecta / Pangshura tecta) is a quiet-water turtle, occurring in quiet streams, canals, oxbows, ponds, and man-made water tanks. It also occurs in brackish coastal waters. A soft bottom and abundant aquatic vegetation are preferred conditions. It loves basking in the early morning sun. Basking helps the turtle to maintain its body temperature as well as for the synthesis of Vitamin D.

This species is omnivorous, feeding on aquatic plants, like water hyacinths and weeds, and animal prey such as crabs and snails; it also scavenges.

Box Turtle. Whenever I see a turtle crossing the road I have to stop and assist the critter to other side :) Traffic was slow so this time a photo op before crossing assistance :)
