What kind of turtle is this?

I am NOT coming out to play - and you can't make me!

 

Redirected this little guy from the middle of the road.

Mr. Turtle was living dangerously on the road, so we helped him out.

I came across this turtle as she was laying her eggs about 15 feet from the edge of the water. She had formed a hole with her back feet, and was covering the eggs as I watched. When I passed by a couple of hours later, she was gone but it was easy to see where she left her eggs. I'm not convinced she picked the safest spot, guess we'll see in a couple of months when they're due to hatch.

Turtles at Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, PA

This painted turtle was found near the railroad tracks in Lenox, Massachusetts. Her mobile home on wheels was sporting a nifty little tattoo! Do you see it?

Saved a turtle from the road

I found this turtle crossing the road. I stopped to move it to the side but saw that it was headed to woods that were being logged so I brought it home and put it at the edge of the swamp bordering our land. It's State land and the same kind of habitat. I hope the move works for this beautiful creature.

Turtles are reptiles most of whose body is shielded by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs. The earliest known turtles date from 215 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and there are about 300 species alive today.
