How familiar are you with Ontario’s turtles, do you recognize this one? This is a Northern Map turtle! Map turtles are named after the lines on their body and shell that resemble a contour map. Keep a lookout for these guys in southern Ontario! ⠀

Turtles are ready for hibernation now. This means they have emptied their stomachs, to avoid rotting food when the cold slows their metabolism, and will be burying themselves in the mud under the water. Find out more about how turtles hibernate by visiting our science and discoveries page on the Turtle Guardians website (link in bio). ⠀

This Thanksgiving weekend Jeremiah is thankful for all the care and attention he got from the kids at Turtle Camp and his sweet new crib at the Turtle Guardians Headquarters! What are you thankful for? ⠀

“What do you mean Thanksgiving is this weekend?” - Betty Boop⠀
Red-eared sliders are invasive in Canada and are originally from the southern United States, so Betty is a little behind in planning for Thanksgiving... ⠀

As Thanksgiving approaches I know a lot of us have food on our minds but our cold-blooded friends have a different approach to this time of year. Right about now Ontario turtles are getting ready to hibernate! They are ceasing to eat, and in a couple of weeks they will be tucked away in their traditional and annual hibernation sites deep in the muck under water! ⠀

Only a few weeks left until the federal election, are you prepared? Are you registered to vote? Do you know where your nearest polling station is? Make sure you have a plan for October 21!⠀

As Canada’s favourite winter sport kicks off for the season we can’t seem to decide who to cheer for! There are 4 Canadian teams playing tonight and painted turtles, like Tripod, range all the way from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. Needless to say we aren’t sure where our loyalty lies! ⠀

Oh my gourd it’s October! Did you know that you can eat every part of a pumpkin?! That’s right, even the stem and seeds are edible! Turtles love eating all kinds of seeds and play a huge role in seed dispersal helping to increase biodiversity! So this year instead of carving your pumpkin, try cooking it! ⠀
