A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Apalone spinifera
Small turtle seen lounging on the grass at my local park. It was in a fully open area, about halfway between a pond and a ditch but not particularly close to either.
Glad I could help!
I lived in Bartlett in early childhood and always loved how many cool little animals showed up on the playgrounds :-)
Sweet, that looks right to me! Thanks!
For such a tiny little playground-centric park, this one has a wide variety of cool wildlife. I've been impressed. :)
I've seen some photos where the turtles have spotted shells like this one.
Also...Bartlett FTW :-)
