More unusually mild weather has brought some unusual but awesome events- look what one Turtle Guardian staffer came across on Wednesday! Late in getting out but with a little help getting to the water, these snapping turtle hatchlings are ready for hibernation despite being slow pokes! ⠀

Halloween is on the horizon! It's the most popular

Halloween is on the horizon! It's the most popular day of the year to dress up and pretend to be something else! Betty, our red-eared slider, has her costume ready to go but other red-eared sliders don't need a costume to trick people. Red-eared sliders are invasive in Ontario and can cause a lot of damage to an ecosystem, but they often get mistaken for our native painted turtles because of their similar markings, and get released as unwanted pets. Not only is this bad news for Ontario turtles, but red-eared sliders aren't accustomed to Canadian weather and often don't survive the winter months. If you have an unwanted pet turtle or are looking to adopt one, consider visiting your local @ontariospca or @littleresq! ⠀

Otis, the slider that one of our staff found on the road, got his test results back and he is clean! He is free of the viruses that many invasive slider turtles can transmit to our native turtles so I guess we have a new ambassador at the headquarters! He was already making himself at home yesterday, we found him out of his tub and wandering around in the morning! ⠀

Most turtles are back in their overwintering sites

Most turtles are back in their overwintering sites by now but there are still a few stragglers out there! This big snapping turtle was seen crossing the road this weekend by one of our staff! It is still important to keep an eye out for turtles on the road and to help them cross if possible! Every individual is important to the population and they need our help to stick around for future generations!⠀

You guessed it, the turtle in our last post was a wood turtle! This is a great picture to see just how sculpted their carapace is and how much it resembles wood! ⠀

Can you identify this Ontario turtle? This endangered species has a very sculpted carapace (upper shell) and is most commonly found near rivers and streams. Let us know what you think!⠀

This Thanksgiving weekend we want everyone to be a little extra thankful for turtles! All 8 Ontario species are considered to be at risk of extinction in the province so every individual is important! Turtles do a lot for the environment, including keeping freshwater systems healthy, and it would be a different world without them!

Did you know that some turtle hatchlings overwinter in their nests? Painted turtles and blandings turtles, for example, will often hatch from their eggs but remain in their nest cavity until the spring! Turtle mothers will choose the perfect nest sites with the right kind of soil to create an insulated cavern where the hatchlings can spend the winter without freezing. Emerging in the spring gives them the advantage of more food availability and cover to hide from predators!⠀
