Sam the baby turtle

During Spring Break, my friends came over to my house carrying a plastic container. I asked them what was in the container from a distance. And they yelled, "a baby turtle". I ran over as fast as I could. It was true - there was an Eastern Box Turtle that was a newborn. They saved it from their cats. We put it in the turtle pen. Thank you, Friends!

Scaredy

This spring, we were walking on a trail in our woods. We found a turtle. I recognized it because I had seen him last year. It was Scaredy. I keep him for a couple of days in the turtle pen. Then I marked him and let him go.
