Apalone spinifera

Notes:

This turtle was trying to cross highway 31 in some traffic. I pulled over and took him on across.

Hi there. I've gone ahead and have added the scientific name for you. :-)

Nice turtle save! I love it! Consider joining the Turtles of the Southeast U.S. mission (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1058...), and then editing this spotting to update the common/scientific names and adding it to this Turtle mission. Thanks. I really like that 3rd photo where the spines are visible. Great job!
