A huge turtle at the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town.
Box turtles live a long time and are very vulnerable to getting run over and having humans carry them away and release them in unfamiliar territory where they're unlikely to survive.

September, 2010. Northern Michigan.
An adult male Wood Turtle basks on a rock on a cool September afternoon on a northern Michigan river.
One morning while looking for Mexican Hog nosed snakes six of these Ornate Box Turtles were seen crossing the road. These are a protected species in Arizona and always fun to see.
The highlight of anyone's trip to Hawaii a swimming encounter with a sea turtle. I was fortunate to have this encounter with 5 feeding turtles on a rocky point near the beach.

This is in the wild sea, not a pool. We swam with them in the sea on another day. An unforgettable experience!
There are dozes of turtles living in the small pond at the train station. Kids (and adults) lined up to just watch them swimming around and relaxing on the rocks.
Turtle on a skin dive. Yes i was this close when i took the shot, no zoom required; and No, i did NOT attempt touch it... i'm an animal lover too.
Woah, my turtle! She's HUGE, and eats only meat and fish. Beware, she's dangerous. She should be about ten years old now...I bought her with another turtle: they were called Tarta and Ruga ( Tartaruga=turtle in Italian). Unfortunately, Tarta died ^_^'
Per gli italiani: Ecco la mia enorme tartaruga Ruga, che mangia solo carne, è vecchia ed è pericolosa. Ne avevo due: Tarta e Ruga X'D ma Tarta morta ^_^'
London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo. It was opened in London on 27 April 1828, and was originally intended to be used as a collection for scientific study. It was eventually opened to the public in 1847 Today it houses a collection of 755 species of animals, with 15,104 individuals, making it one of the largest collections in the United Kingdom.
It is managed under the aegis of the Zoological Society of London (established in 1826), and is situated at the northern edge of Regent's Park , on the boundary line between City of Westminster and Camden (the Regent's Canal runs through it). The Society also has a more spacious site at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire to which the larger animals such as elephants and rhinos have been moved. As well as being the first scientific zoo, ZSL London Zoo also opened the first Reptile house (1849), first public Aquarium (1853), first insect house (1881) and the first children's zoo (1938).
ZSL receives no state funding and relies on 'Fellows', 'Friends', 'Members', entrance fees and sponsorship to generate income.
