Common Musk Turtle (25-4288) was admitted after being hit by a car in Davie! Veterinarians suited the turtle up with hardware to repair the fracture and the turtle’s fracture healed beautifully! After 67 days in the hospital, this Musk Turtle was able to return to the wild! Success stories like this are made possible by our generous donors!

A male loggerhead musk turtle from a small rocky stream. In prime habitat, loggerhead musk turtles can get in very high densities, and sometimes squabbling and fighting can occur. Typical confrontations involve biting the marginals (edge of the shell) until one individual retreats. #turtles #wildlife #sternotherus #animals #nature | Greg’s Turtle Haven
