Yesterday on my walk, I came across this turtle. It didn't seem to be afraid of me and didn't pull into its shell. So, I was able to get a few good pictures. From what I can find
on the Internet, it looks like a Box Turtle. Also, from information on the Internet, it looks like it might be a male because of its bright, red eyes (see the bottom picture) and its bright coloration. This is considered the least reliable method of determining the sex of a turtle, though. I should have taken a picture of its tail!
He was right in the middle of the path and I was tempted to move him but then I changed my mind. Turtles have been getting along without my help for a long time. Maybe he was on the hunt for a female turtle or a meal and I could ruin that. So, in the end, I just took a few pictures and left him alone. I will look for him when I walk today but, in a way, I hope I don't find him.
