Emydoidea blandingii
Blanding's turtle hatchling - egg tooth still visible on its "nose" - this is what it uses to slice its way out of its egg when it hatches!
Hatchling in October - not actually found at "location" - since this is an endangered species, the actual location information is to be kept confidential.
they are a semi-aquatic turtle of the family Emydidae. This North American turtle is considered to be an endangered species throughout much of its range. Is it a baby turtle? so cute!
