We've had so many wonderful discoveries of late, that it's been difficult to keep up! Andrew's dad, Dan, found newly hatched snapping turtles marching down to Dunn's Marsh and brought a box full of them for the lucky kids at After School Study club to see. I went back with him to the site and found 3 nests that had recently hatched. We could tell by all the empty eggs. We decided to help the little one's make the trek back to the marsh by collecting them up and delivering them to a small inlet to the marsh.
We decided to keep two of them for the habitat the Intermediates are building for their habitat studies. If you're interested in learning more about snapping turtles, go to this website.
