There's a reason that there are so many photos of this turtle in this post.
Across the world there are many fantastic creatures. One of those "kinds" of creatures are the turtles. Each species can have it's own specific color range, pattern variations, and other distinguishing characteristics. Here, the box turtles can get rather impressive, and I'm completely fascinated by them.
This is basically a large enough collection of photos of the same turtle to qualify as a "photo dump," but each photo is distinct and unique. They each present a different angle on this impressive specimen, and I was blessed to be able to photography it recently. Enjoy the photos, and the wild creatures of the world too!
