Chattahoochee Nature Center

Have I ever mentioned that I love my job? Because I do.



Yes, that is a baby turtle. It is in fact a baby bog turtle. There are only 100-200 of these little guys in the wild, most of them in the bogs of north Georgia.









The Chattahoochee Nature Center actually has a captive breeding program, where we raise these guys on the grounds, then release them back into the wild. Good luck, little ones! Go make more babies!





(And of course there's the whole raptor handling/rescue thing. Y hallo thar, cute little Ruby girl with your one eye! Did the big mean car hit you and make us have to remove your eye? Yes it did, yes it did!)
