@jenylamb @GroverJBrown @lukespearson It's trying so hard! 🥞

And this is why we need turtle conservation. Two female #alligatorsnappingturtles with eggs. #TSA2017 #macrochelys

@ariseandawake @biophiliamanda I really need to start learning all of these non US species. They are beautiful #turts ❤🐢

R. Mittermeier- if we fail in biodiversity hot spots, we will experience dramatic loss of species #TSA2017

When you catch an #alligatorsnapper that's the size of a game boy

[Gabbie Berry @A_RazzBerry]

@steph_kulp And you smell like this #musk turtle. If ya know what I mean. 😷

[Gabbie Berry @A_RazzBerry]

What a cute little softshell drama queen. #spinifera

[Gabbie Berry @A_RazzBerry]

Check out a first person view of that giant #spinifera and how we caught, processed, and released her : https://t.co/IoDFeehy3H🐢

Data crunching today, back in the field tomorrow. All in the name if #turts

[Gabbie Berry @A_RazzBerry]

@dollseyes2 @mattkeevil I'm sure it comes down to survival strategy. They've all evolved different responses to predator stimuli Idk how being a nice turt helps tho

[Gabbie Berry @A_RazzBerry]

@dollseyes2 @mattkeevil That definitely seems true. Mutica are more docile than spinifera. And cooters are much easier than sliders. Sliders cut us up pretty good

[Gabbie Berry @A_RazzBerry]

One of my favorite little #salamanders , probably because I could find the little orange babes all over PA. #newt
