Wood Turtle

Excellent capture of a remarkable creature.

Thanks for the comment! And I've heard that they are pretty intelligent... I've read about them making their way through mazes before and that they're also capable of climbing fences! Crazy! Thanks for sharing the link!

Nice pic! Did you know that N.A. Wood Turles could be the smartest tutles of all?

I didn't have the exact location, and everyone around here knows of them - most people hide it if they find them because then they can't build on there land.

This is a state listed species of special concern and the location needs to be ommited from public view. These turtles are getting rarer and rarer everyday due to exploitation and some one could use the location you have given to find the turtle and others to sell them on the black market. Please omit.
