Notes: During an adventure in the woodlands of East Texas, a Three-toed Box Turtle was discovered as it was out in the morning searching for food. The old specimen's shell was worn and battered. Teeth marks, scrapes and chips told of the turtle's long life that had some tough moments of survival in the wild. Both of the rear feet had three long claws on the toes that give this type of Box Turtle thier name.
