Donatella, 10yo, female

This large female softshell turtle was resting in the woods one morning, some distance from water. Perhaps she was exhausted after digging a nest and laying eggs the previous night.

Turtles in the Touch Tanks

Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park is a small park that also touches about four miles of the Gulf of Mexico. It is located in Port Richey, FL in western Pasco County. There are so many opportunities to see animals in the natural habitat including gray fox, alligators, gopher tortoises, and endless species of birds.

Also, make yourself at home with the beautiful greenery that surrounds the whole park. If you are lucky, you may see a colorful butterfly, or the many animals that make the park their home.

Surprisingly fast.

What a suprise to find in middle of the highway. After some emergency manuvers this turtle was ensconced in a cooler and taken 1/8 mile to the conservation area. The turtle then got to pose for me.

Turtles take a slow walk along swamplands at Florida Aquarium in downtown Tampa.

We found this male box turtle on the top of a steep hill in the Pine Hills Nature Preserve near Turkey Run State Park, IN. Not sure how he got there or why but it was a nice surprise after our hike up!
