Look at this beautiful old box turtle one of our librarians rescued from the road. She was affraid all the construction trucks would squish him as they zipped down the road.
We called the naturalist, Therese at the Zion Nature Center, and she came to the library to bring him to the pond habit near the center. She said he may travel to find his old home but may find it nice near the pond. He is an old turtle and we hope he lives a long life away from the road!
We found several books about box turtles and identified that he was a boy and learned about his unique species. Did you know: Box turtles could live up to 100 years?
