Saved another Turtle......

My son has a Turtle habitat in the backyard. We've learned a lot about the common box turtle that is found in the SE USA.

While out doing a 60 miler today, I spotted a turtle enjoying the warm asphalt on a beautiful sunny day on one of NC's backroads. Sometimes, if I have something to carry them in I'll bring them back home. They will wet you when spooked or uncomfortable or just trying to show off.....I took this one off the road a good ways and encouraged him to stay off the road. He hissed at me but I think he knew it was for his own good.

Anyone else do anything special with animals?
