Notes
I found this turtle in the road. It was not far from another that had been run over. Tennesseens are bad with animals & try to run them over on purpose. Tennesseens are not educated enough to know how beneficial animals such as snakes are in controlling the rodent population. Tennesseens like to watch dogs & roosters fight to the death, yet they consider themselves the holiest people on earth.
So I moved this little turtle well away from the road, near a creek.
