Twice a year turtles start making the rounds both in May and in September. They are looking for water and that special turtle someone. And unfortunately, every year there are terrapin causalities on the roads.
An adult turtle can withstand just about any predator. What he/she can not withstand is a two thousand pound car going over them.
I have rescued about 17 injured turtles in four years, taken them to Wildlife Rescue, with the dismal outcome of being only four that made it.
I always feel so sorry for them because they are so slow.
Please folks if you see a turtle, see if you can pull over safely and get the little guy/gal off the road. Always keep them going in the same direction you found them.
And remember:
Be good to your terrapin friends,
cause that turtle could be somebody's mother.
Okay, that lost something.
