Recent turtle stories we found interesting. Did you see these?
They include baby box turtles, counting box turtles, and disoriented baby sea turtles.
Also some turtle mysteries and a plan to rid the oceans of turtle-killing plastic.
Counting box turtles & hatching box turtles. Love it! 🐢
43 years of Eastern box turtles: That’s right, since 1974! That’s how long the Muse family has been documenting the box turtles living on and passing through its Roanoke County property. They recently met boxie #200.
Baby yellow-margined Box Turtles!: They’re native to China, Taiwan, and part of Japan. They’re also endangered, so everyone at the Turtle Survival Center is excited to welcome 6 new members of the species.

We’ve got more box turtle research, fun sea turtle research, and amazing sea turtle pictures, among other stories. Take a look!
Two new stories today. First about a vet’s take on what might be wrong with a box turtle patient. And more research on ornate boxies.
A vet explains a box turtle ear infection: Herbie’s human knew something was wrong when he stopped eating his favorite food. His vet explains what he thinks it is, and how to fix it.
Studying ornate box turtles: The Cornell College research has been going on for years. But this year they’re also trying to learn how the turtles see each other, using UV light.

We have cute baby turtles, turtles back home, and a few less happy stories.
No new box turtle news today. But we think learning more about box turtles is worth resharing.

Did you miss any of these turtle stories recently?
More sea turtle nests and babies. Reminders to leave the turtles & their nests alone. And a missing turtle mystery.
Eliza Ann’s back!: Just last week we shared how this loggerhead sea turtle has made two nests so far this season. Well, her tracker showed her returning to the beach July 15. Unfortunately, it looks like a false crawl, but everyone’s hoping she’ll lay a 3rd nest!
Who stole Millennium?: He’s a 100-year-old African spurred tortoise. He disappeared from the Alley Pond Environmental Center in Queens (NY). The center just wants him back, and they promise no questions asked.
First loggerhead babies in 30+ years: Higgs Beach in Key West doesn’t really have enough sand for turtle nests. But one mama decided the beach volleyball court would do just fine. Her babies (104 of ‘em!) toddled to the sea on a recent Sunday night.
