WHY DID THE TURTLE CROSS THE ROAD?

Obviously ... to get to the other side ... to lay her eggs.
Briefly
Painted Turtle

Fresh water turtles are at risk across Canada. The tag line above is tongue in cheek but also serious. Road mortality is the number one threat to turtles. Another large threat that we can do something about is nest predation. Unfortunately habitat loss and poaching for the pet trade are more intractable problems.
