Schildkröten haben das Entenhaus im Engelbecken besetzt...

This trio of turtles was climbing all over each other, trying to get the best place on the rock! Just one of the many displays at the Marine Science Center in Ponce Inlet, Florida, these were relatively small compared to the large sea turtles that were in the large tanks outside this room where they were being rehabilitated. The folks at the science center rescue local wildlife in trouble, and nurse it back to health, all the while, educating people about some of the creatures we share out area with that often go unnoticed.

   

Taken on a hike at Saunders Springs Park.

A carved turtle rises from a calm and reflective pool that is bordered by green trees.

This big fellow was on a high speed road with sharp turns and resisted our attempts to hustle him to safety. Fortunately a young man who lived on an adjacent property had a large shovel.

Found this guy trying to get over a log during my short river hike. Shot using the 105 macro in live-view mode! Difficult shot to get, only one turned out sharp.

"Get out of my way."

Caught the red eye in Cumberland last weekend.

Explored! :) Thanks

This was a small snapping turtle (about 10 inches) and it was on the shoulder of the road. We had no gloves in the car to pick it up and help but watched as it safely arrived on the other side across two lanes of traffic.

We found him near a little pond.

The only turtle species that is endemic to Central Europe. Otherwise it can be found in Europe, Turkey and Morocco, as well.

 

Loves slow moving waters and ponds. They can live up 40-60 years long.

 

In many European countries they are endangered as their natural habitat of wetlands is shrinking.

 

In recent years they are also threatened by the fact that there are more and more Red-eared sliders (a turtle species native to the southern US and Mexico but often kept as pet in Europe) end up in the wild and behave as an invasive species against the local pond turtle.

 

Florida Box Turtle, they can move pretty quick when they want too.

This post is all for my youngest. He loves turtles. We keep seeing everyone else post photos of turtles and I had yet (till now) post any of "Jared's turtle's. We saw all these turtle when we were in Florida and I can tell you that it took awhiiiiiile to get through a place with so many turtles hanging around for Jared to look at. Sooo....Welcome to Jared's World of turtles(and relitives). Trust me...to him they are alll turtles big or small.

Turtle is not impressed!

Trachemys scripta elegans. Zilker Botanical Garden, Austin. This species is native to the southern US. Common in central Texas.

This little fellow let me take his picture--he even posed for me with his head up

After feeding among corals and gorgonians, this hawkbill turtle prepares for swimming up to water surface to take the air. I am pretty sure it's not hungry face.

Thanks everyone, I just get 25,000 views!

This turtle was resting on a log beside the Tip to Tip Trail along the Rideau Canal, Ottawa. The sun was high and the turtle was enjoying its warmth. He was not bothered by having his picture taken and stayed there for a very long time.
