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.

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.

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!
This snapping turtle showed up 3 or 4 years ago with a fresh wound to her eye. She’s come up every year to lay her eggs on the bridge.
