Turtle, tortoise, or terrapin - whatever it was it scared the daylights out of me when I found it in the garden.
The little fella was taken down to the creek side to warm in the sun and begin growing to adulthood.
But which species is this little fella? Since the little turtle was covered in dirt, it was difficult to identify the species. According to TrekOhio, "Ohio’s 12 species of turtles at a glance", this article states there are twelve species of turtle found throughout the State of Ohio. Can anyone take a guess at which species of little terrapin is?
