My work campus is home to some beautiful natural areas, including serene wooded sections and even a creek that winds through the property. With such a scenic setting, it's no surprise that local wildlife occasionally makes an appearance.
The other day, I came across a turtle trying to cross one of the trails. It looked startled and froze up as I approached, so I gently picked it up and placed it safely in the bushes on the side it was headed toward. Hopefully, it continued on its journey without too much stress.
What really caught me off guard was its size—it was nearly a foot long and about seven inches wide. Definitely one of the largest turtles I've encountered here in Texas!
