It's turtle mating season and you might come across something like this - a painted turtle digging a hole for it's eggs! This one was alongside a bike trail, but if you see this kind of behavior in your yard or gravel driveway, just do your best to leave them and their nest alone until the eggs hatch. And if you see a turtle in the road, kindly shuffle it off to the side of the road in the direction it's traveling. Thanks! #turtle #🐢 #wildliferehab #wildliferescue | Wildwoods

Fun Fact: Some species of turtles such as the painted turtle can essentially breathe through their butts underwater. The oxygen dissolved in the water is absorbed by the blood vessels in their cloacae.🐢🍑🫧 #naturalhabitatshorts #naturalhabitat #naturalhabitok | Natural Habitat Shorts
