Why Did the Turtles Cross the Road
Minutes after helping the Eastern Box Turtle across the road on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, I came across a second turtle on the same road, about 50 yards away.
Although the shell pattern is different, I'm guessing it's an Eastern Box Turtle as well. What do you think?
Why were they crossing the road this time of year?
They moved fairly quickly for turtles, no offense to turtles.
