Perhaps it's true for the Wood Turtle, too. So many little turtles don't make it in the wild because they are so vulnerable and the red legs might help keep a few of them safe.KaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984398639775623131.post-14248271858484422582011-09-06T00:15:25.208-03:002011-09-06T00:15:25.208-03:00Very interesting to learn about wood turtles.
