*** About Blanding's Turtle: Blanding's Turtle, easily recognized by its bright yellow chin and throat, is a medium-sized, semi-aquatic freshwater turtle. This species is known for its domed shell and relatively long life span, often living up to 70 years or more in the wild. They inhabit wetlands, shallow waters, and marshy areas, primarily in the Great Lakes region, and are considered a species of concern due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Conservation efforts are crucial in preserving the delicate balance of their ecosystems and ensuring that future generations may also witness the beauty of these gentle creatures.
