It’s hatchling season! 🐢

[NC Aquarium at FF @NCAquariumFF]

While walking through the Aquarium garden you may encounter local wildlife, like this baby yellow-bellied slider. This little guy made its way up to the playground. Being in an unsafe location for the turtle, our staff quickly returned it to the turtle pond. #Wildlife #Turtle

Calling all vets and vet techs! Please consider registering for the 2022 Turtle Ally Certification Program workshop, where you will get the skills to triage and treat injured wild turtles. Counts for CE credit and is loads of fun!
