Most Box turtles I see here are black and yellow. This guy must be Halloween ready as he had much more orange than usual on his head and legs.
A turtle I came across crossing the driveway from one patch of woods to another. It got very tired of me looming over it.
European Pond Turtle - Emys orbicularis - Европейская болотная черепаха

Another flying turtle. Sipadan is the best place to see turtles they are swimming, eating, mating, hanging around parked on the wall and on the table corals (although flying seems a more accurate description) When you do your back roll you HAVE to scan the water so that you wont land on one surfacing under you.
He had a little buddy next to him too, but they were too shy, and I didn't wanna bug the little guys for too long. :)
Original model picture is royalty free ar pixabay. I did not retrace the shape of the animal. Just painted it from scratch. :)
This little painted turtle was at least a half kilometre away from the nearest visible water. When i found him he was obstinately stuck inside his shell on the side of a logging road, refusing to poke his head out. At least it was all downhill back to the lake. There was also a leech stuck to the top of his shell, which was persistently still alive, even though i cant imagine how long this guy had been out of the water. How long does it take a turtle to cross a half km of cutover and climb a hill?
