Kids & Communities Saving Turtles 🇨🇦 A National Charity to Help Our Oldest Relatives. 🐢 Follow us on Facebook or find us online @turtleguardians

For our 2021 Turtle Walk, Turtle Guardians and The

For our 2021 Turtle Walk, Turtle Guardians and The Land Between charity will be raising money for nonprofit organizations in Texas that are working to save sea turtles. A high number of turtles have been found “frozen” on beaches due to the unusually cold weather in Texas. Although many have been rescued and brought to shelters, they still have a lot of care and recovery ahead of them before they can be released.⠀
⠀
Please visit The Land Between or Turtle Guardians website for more information or to register for a 2021 Turtle Walk 🐢⠀

Turtles are always keeping us guessing! This turtle was seen walking on top of a frozen wetland a couple of years ago in Minnesota! Maybe there will be something to look forward to this March!⠀

Welcome to March! I'm sure everyone is a little sick of being inside right about now but only a couple more weeks until spring! It won't be long until turtles leave their hibernation sites and we start seeing them out on the roads again. Helping turtles across the road is a great way to get out of the house and keep busy this spring! Always move a turtle in the direction it was travelling and if you see any red-eared sliders like Betty, contact us at 705-854-3578 for more information on what to do with invasive species!⠀

We're starting to notice the days getting longer which means that turtle season is right around the corner! Spotted turtles are the first turtles to emerge from hibernation in the spring, often appearing while there is still partial ice cover. Unlike Ontario's other turtle species, spotted turtles don't spend the hottest parts of the summer basking in the sun and foraging, instead they go into a period of hot-weather dormancy called aestivation. Spotted turtles will aestivate in the soft bottoms of water bodies, fields or woodlands to avoid the hot, dry weather!⠀

Everybody could use a little sunshine in their life, especially our cold blooded friends. Reptiles can't regulate their body temperature internally so it fluctuates with their environment. By basking in the sun, turtles and frogs raise their body temperature which helps to increase their metabolism for digesting food and reproduction!⠀

The most obvious difference between northern map t

The most obvious difference between northern map turtles (left) and midland painted turtles (right) is the size. Female northern map turtles can reach up to 27 cm long whereas painted turtles typically only reach 14 cm long. The carapace (top shell) also differs in colour and shape. Northern map turtles have light markings on a dark background and a serrated edge at the rear. Painted turtles have a smooth, black carapace with red markings around the edges. ⠀
