Eastern Box Turtle
Personal memory by Cynthia Incognito
1987 • Pennsylvania, USA
I remember how prevalent Eastern Box turtles used to be in Pennsylvania. When I was a child you could walk through the woods in Pennsylvania and easily find one of these turtles. Today, they are on the endangered species list. There are none to be found! I am 35 years old.
