Lego can make a successful mobility aid if you’re a turtle.

Here’s a cheering story about Root, a wood turtle with attitude, at the Halifax’s Museum of Natural History.

“He doesn't live in a sewer, his name isn't Donatello and he doesn't ride a skateboard. But little Root the turtle does get around on his own set of wheels.”

I like turtles! 🐢

Inside of an aquarium tank, a wood turtle begins walking up a wooden ramp. The tank is full of vegetation to mimic the wood turtle’s natural habitat.A sign in the corner of the wood turtle’s aquarium tank says the following: 
“DO YOU SEE? Wood turtles in the wild can live up to 40 years. In captivity they have been known to live for nearly 60 years. WOOD TURTLE”

I just finished my #WildlifeRehabilitation logs. I had 67 animals in care this year. 49 were reptiles (3 snakes, 46 #turtles). Half died unfortunately, which makes me sad in the remembering. 12 turtles are still with me, along with an opossum. I had 3 #frogs this year, all released. I like rehabbing frogs. They are surprisingly resilient and appreciate free meals.

(Pictured is a wood turtle who is staying for the winter. He also appreciates free meals.)
