Nature Walks – Turtles and the Tortoise

Our turtles love to sun themselves. Sometimes they are just on the surface of the water, so they are keeping cool too, and sometimes they are out on the rocks, getting the full warmth of the sun.

This is one of old Snapping Turtles. You can tell by his size he is an older turtle. We have some Snapping Turtles that are over 100 years old. I have no way of knowing, but I am guessing this guy is probably about 60-70 years old.

These are our Red-Eared Sliders. They are much smaller than the Snapping Turtles.

Since I was highlighting our turtles, I had to show this little Box Tortoise we saw while in Kansas too.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe, stay well and stay cool. ‘Til next time.
