FIELD MARK-The box turtle or box tortoise is a genus of turtle native to North America (United States and Mexico). The 12 taxa which are distinguished in the genus are distributed over four species. It is largely characterized by having a domed shell, which is hinged at the bottom, allowing the animal to close its shell tightly to escape predators.

And buddha, too - but seriously, this is the largest gathering of turtles I've seen in one place.

Three year-old attractive european turtle...

I noticed this snapping turtle as I was driving into my neighborhood. It looked like she was trying to find a place to lay her eggs, but when I came back later, I didn't see any.

Laying eggs in the dirt parking lot. In Elm Creek Park Preserve.

There were five kids using nets in South Fletcher's Creek. They caught this baby snapping turtle (about 4 inches in length). They brought up to the bridge and allowed me to take a few pictures. The kids then put the turtle back in the creek. Ravinswood Ravine. Brampton Ontario Canada.
