Turtle Thursday! 🐢

Did you know the Eastern Box Turtle lives in moist, open forests often near water? They can be found in pastures and sometimes burrow under logs. Their diet consist of plants and grasses, mushrooms, fruit, insects, earthworms, snails and salamanders.

It’s best to admire these guys and leave them be. Their population is in decline due to habitat loss from human development, collection for pets and mortality from vehicles
