Freshwater Turtles in a Round Pond
A group of three turtles glides through the calm water of a small, circular pond. Along the water edge, smooth stones form a protective border alongside patches of grass that line the surrounding shore.
Secrets of Turtle Shells and Ponds
Freshwater turtles spend much of their time soaking up sunlight on rocks to regulate their body temperature. Their shells are actually part of their skeleton, made up of over fifty bones fused together. When winter arrives, many pond turtles bury themselves in the mud at the bottom of the water to rest until spring.
