Turtle Park is for memorizing Tan Kah Kee who is the pioneer business man in 1950s. He saved a lot of money he made and donate it to education. Xiamen University and Jimei University cannot exist without his donation. And both my wife and I cannot meet without Xiamen University. So to some extends, we have to thank him.
You can't tell from this shot, but the fellow on the right was trying and almost succeeding at flipping over the other guy.
Taken at Viera wetlands on December 24, 2008. This turtle was pretty good sized and he was crossing the road heading down an embankment. He let me get close enough (ten feet or so) to get a pretty detailed shot, and that was nice to get in the sunrise

His back was really humped, unlike turtles I have seen in the past. Looks like he was carrying luggage in there or something.

We also watched a turtle try to climb up on this rock later in the day. It was like tiny turtle bouldering, complete with a fall. Into the water.

Who said tortoises were slow?! Mine is as fast as a kid. I've never taken a pic of a kid but I bet snapping a pet is as difficult. And fun at the same time :-) I made dozens of snaps and only 4 are worth seeing as she's too-too-too fast. Anyway, I'll learn snapping restless models
- I stopped, took a photo, and moved the Eastern Box Turtle out of harms way...
Terrapene carolina carolina
This large snapper made her way up the ridge, up the steps and onto our upper terrace. She'd been rooting in one of the flower beds, wanting to lay eggs, I expect. Jim got her onto a scoop shovel and guided her back over the ridge.
She visited us once before, about three years ago. She may be slow moving, but she's incredibly fast with her snap!
