It’s a bog turtle, not a big turtle. When they’re born, bog turtles are the size of a quarter. As adults, they’re only four inches.

We also often look for b

Here’s some rare footage of a wild Bog Turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) escaping into his tunnel. They dig these small tunnels to use as hibernacula during the winter, and in the spring, they emerge from among the roots to forage, bask, and mate throughout the fen’s thick tussocks of sedges/grasses and clumps sphagnum moss.

The Bog Turtle is North America's smallest turtle, reaching up to 4.5 inches in length, and is easily identified by the distinctive orange or yellow patches on the sides of its head. These shy, semi-aquatic reptiles live in open, groundwater-fed wetlands like bogs and wet meadows, and their populations are declining due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and illegal collection for the pet trade. The bog turtle is federally listed as a threatened species. Bog turtle ( Glyptemys muhlenbergii) with Mo
