Found on Michigan Avenue Sunday morning walking along the curb at the edge of the road, apparently unable to climb up and over the curb.
The mud-stained carapace was approximately eight inches long and five inches wide.
The plastron.
Unhappy rescued turtle. Shortly after this I released him/her into the Rouge River. I hope I guessed the direction and purpose of its travels correctly.
Red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) is the most popular pet turtle in the United States as well as in other parts of the world. As a kid, I had a couple. They can grow to be quite large and are often released in rivers, lakes and ponds when they are no longer little and cute.
