Wood Turtle
About Wood Turtle
The Wood Turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) is not the result of a crossbreed between turtles, but rather an indigenous breed of turtle. This type of turtle has a unique way of eating: kicking the ground using its chest to attract worms to the surface. It also has a hammer carved into its carapace. On the other hand, female wood turtles usually look for a place to lay their eggs in late spring.
