I swear that the turtle was posing for me. Guess I have a knack for talking to the animals?

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.

One beautiful variation of an Eastern box turtle taken in Southern NJ.

This little guy stopped by for a visit today.

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.

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.

She was on the edge of a field, so she was probably about to (or just did) lay eggs.

A beautiful female Eastern Box Turtle crosses a busy rural road in New Jersey. The Garden State is the most densely populated state in the country and in turn many of its roads carry unusually high traffic volume. This coupled with fragmented habitat makes Eastern Box Turtles exceptionally vulnerable to road mortality. The Eastern Box Turtle is listed as a Species of Special Concern in New Jersey.

A turtle decided it wanted to cross the road at Stony Creek Metropark in Washington Township Michigan to get to the lake.

I guess no motorist could use the excuse hat it darted out in front of me.

This girl was one of three that was crossing the road. She was the only survivor by the time John saw her, stopped, and brought her to the safety of the ponds at home. She either already had laid, or was ready to lay, her eggs. She moved very, very fast. John put her in Pond 3.

I've rescued several box turtles from the highway over the years. I usually just let them go in the back yard. When I see a box turtle in the yard I wonder whether it's one I found on the road or whether it just wandered in from somewhere.

i like turtles (or tortoises, not quite sure)

Blurry photo of a mating pair of eastern box turtles I stumbled across on a footpath.

A Speed limit has been placed on turtle racing at Brennan's Bar, Santa Monica.

This should enable a reduction in speed related turtle injuries

These turtles were huge. I wish I could remember the name of them.
