Turtle Crossing by Doug Connell

A pair of turtles on a biking/hiking trail in La Crosse, Wisconsin. I’m pretty sure the turtles were on their way to lay eggs in nearby sand after coming from a Mississippi River backwater located on the other side of the bushes at right. I can’t remember the last time I saw two turtles traveling together as they tend to be solitary creatures.

Turtle butt by Diving (and other things) with Kelly and Dave

A turtle never sees its own butt, so Dave took a picture so he could show one.

African Helmeted Turtle by Jody Simpson

An African Helmeted Turtle (Terrapin) suddenly arrived in our garden the other day out of nowhere - there are no likely bodies of water around where we could think he came from. We have placed him in the care of a wildlife organisation who will place him in a suitable (wild) environment!

Turtle Death by melissa stirling

In the market in Iquitos, we saw so many turtle waiting to be bought to be eaten. It was so sad to me because I love turtles, but I guess when it comes down to survival and cultural practice it isn't bad to them.

A closeup of that little guy.

After a good meal and some rest, he will be tagged and released.

Sea turtles return to breed at the same beach where they were born. (This is a serious problem if their home beach is now a parking lot.) No one yet knows whether turtles who get lost going from the beach to the sea have properly imprinted on their beach, and whether this will be a problem when the time comes for them to breed.

Northern Map Turtle (Graptemys geographica) by Alex Richards

Taken in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

After laying down a few feet from this gal she opened her mouth nice and wide (not sure if it was a threat display or if she was just stretching her jaw). She quickly realized I wasn’t that much of a threat and and decided I wasn’t worth her time, and went on her way.
