May 2009 – Ontario Nature launches the Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas, an expansion of the Eastern Ontario Herpetofaunal Atlas. This enormous undertaking helps protect some of the most endangered animals in the province. Nearly all of Ontario’s turtle species are at risk of becoming locally extinct, a tragedy that will severely diminish a once richly diverse community of reptiles. www.ontarionature.org/protect/species/herpetofaunal_atlas...

The only camera-shy turtle I've ever met. I got my phone out and she sprinted away from me.
Available for adoption at the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire in Bedford. Surrendered because she needed a bigger tank, and I guess the owners couldn't (or wouldn't) swing the cost.
At least they surrendered her rather than releasing her in the woods, where she wouldn't have lasted two days. So good on them for that.

OMG A REAL LIFE SEA TURTLE! Amazings. DanE followed one of these guys for about ten minutes, just him and a turtle.
These awesome photos were shot by the photographer onboard of Woodwind, his company is called Bonphoto.
The largest New World softshell turtle, also the fastest moving on land. This guy was sunbathing on the road and didn't seem eager to run anywhere.
the turtle that has decided to make our yard its home. we have no idea where he/she came from....specially since our yard is fully fenced.
Went for a dirt road ride last evening and we almost didn't see her. This old girl was laying her eggs and nothing was going to stop her. She didn't hiss and didn't seem upset by us so we snapped a few pics before it got too dark. We saw a couple rabbits, a partridge and lots of fireflies....no big critters, though.

Sea Sense conducts both research and outreach programs. Its collection of data on sea turtle and dugong population sizes, incidents of egg poaching, and other information has been extremely helpful in guiding conservation projects. Armed with scientific data, Sea Sense has successfully educated local communities about threats to sea turtles and protecting their nests. (Photo courtesy of Sea Sense and the Born Free Foundation.)
These two females, fraternal twins, hatched in March 1989. More than one egg is unusual for this species. They are two of the seven Malacochersus members of the Chelonian Connection lab's study group in Oregon, USA. (Other species: Terrepena spp., Testudo horsefieldi, Trachemys scripta elegans.) For three decades we have explored turtle cognition from the behavioral side, now described in a book-in-progress.
The six-foot garden window is a favored spot.

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.
