This turtle relaxed in this corner when we found it. I was laying on the ground in fron of it while taking this amazing picture.
Passing a pond on one of the trails of Mackinac Island, we saw this turtle sunning himself. Mackinac Island is located on Lake Huron, between the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan, in the USA.
I found this poor turtle walking dejectedly between the rails of the train tracks. After I determined that he was not likely to pivot around and bite my fingers off, I picked him up and put him in a more hospitable location. I just hope it was the right side of the tracks..:)
Turtle swiming in the private lagoon of Le Meridien Bora Bora. They have a Turtle Sanctuary - a unique care center for turtles - where you can observe these beautiful animals and eventually you can swim together.
They seemed like unlikely friends, but who knows? Seen on Sanibel Island, Florida, USA in February, 2018.
Bem, a Danniella já publicou sua foto que ficou muito "cool" e muito premiada...aí, decidi postar a minha humilde amiga aqui :)
This cute turtle was also shot by Danniella and is already an award winner(also went to explore!) Meanwhile, I post my humble one here just for fun :)
Spotted this Turtle coming towards me on a road just infront of my house. Third Turtle I have seen in my life.
The carapace, or upper shell, of the Wood Turtle is brown, grayish-brown, or tan, with radiating straw-coloured lines on the individual plates, or scutes. The grooved, concentric growth rings on each scute form a flattened pyramid giving the shell a sculptured appearance. The plastron, or under shell, is yellow with a single black blotch in the corner of each scute. The head is shiny black, as are the upper parts of the legs and tail. The throat, the lower section of the neck, and the underside of the tail are a bright orange or brick red. The combination of sculptured carapace, yellow and black plastron, and orange throat and forelegs readily distinguish the Wood Turtle from the Painted Turtle and Snapping Turtle, the only other freshwater turtle species native to New Brunswick.
