..a female box turtle...
In the eight years I've worked for the Parks, this is the first turtle I've seen on the mountain.
And
Since we were discussing Steel Magnolias (the movie)
we named her Clairee....
She'll be notched, her vitals documented, recorded in the "turtle book" and then released in the same area she was found...
she is very colorful and very unhappy to be in a box...
Waddle on my new little friend....!!
..Go For Your Dreams..
She is beautiful. Interesting you all keep a turtle book.
ReplyDeleteBright colors. She will be happy to get out of the box and be rambling again for sure.
ReplyDeleteI like the colors on this lady - - I'm wondering how old she is (she probably won't want to reveal her age.....)
ReplyDeleteThe rangers estimated she was between 30-40 years old....
DeleteI'm sure she will be happy to return to her home. Interesting that you all keep a turtle book.
