I found one of these guys on soil survey in Ontario. At first I thought it was a bottle filled with mud. He had this massive slug or something stuck to his shell. I was SOO pumped to find one
Nice! I saw this guy while cruising down a logging road. I only ever see them in the water or on logs in lakes... I don’t dare take my camera in the boat. First one I’ve seen roaming out on the road like this, so I was pretty ecstatic.
I read this more like a newspaper headline and I was really curious to see what Northern Ontario was going to look like after it was painted... "turtle" so this was kinda disappointing, but cool turtle anyway.
I figured the title was going to confuse some people haha. I was going to just put “Painted Turtle,” but I felt like that would confuse people even more since there isn’t any turtle that is painted, but it is the actual species name of this particular turtle.
I think almost everyone else on the planet except me would read this as intended. I just found my weird interpretation funny enough to be worth mentioning.
Nice!!!
