We saw this fellow/lady while driving along a small but busy Florida road in the game preserve near Cocoa. I needed to snap the shot quickly and get him off the road to avoid peril. My husband put him in the grass and he drew into the shell and hissed. He was definitely shaken and stirred.

Cook picture of a definitely annoyed Box Turtle! This is a she. I hope you put her on the side of the road toward which she was headed. (Otherwise, they just try again!)

This is a keeper in my "Amphibians and Reptiles" folder! Thank you.

Nice job Jean, do turtle's get fat?? Cause he's either got a awful round shell or he's fat. LMAO If he gets any bigger around he'll just sit in one place cause his feet won't touch the ground. LOL Thanks this one made me smile.

Nice capture of this neat looking turtle! Great job on the framing too! Looks like his legs barely reach the ground..or he could be starting to pull in. Thanks for helping him out!
