A Turtle Rescued by Wildlife Center; Carries Five Eggs

Fashion and fun should not be exposed to animals and especially when it comes to their life. Recently, a turtle has been found in a box in Augusta County by the Wildlife Center of Virginia.

As disclosed and shared by Randy Huwa, executive vice president of the Wildlife Center of Virginia, this box was decorated with lots of nail polish colors and glitters and above was written the name as "Sheldon". A silver glitter was used for doing so. There were initials "SKR" and "BMD" also written on the box.

Amanda Nicholson from the wildlife center said that by painting the box, it alerted the predators to attack it due to which the life of turtle was put into danger. He told the Daily News Leader, "Box turtles have this great natural camouflage that just allows them to blend into their environment. And this is really sending a message to the world of, `hey, look at me'".

Apart from this, it has been found that the turtle is carrying five eggs in her womb and to produce them safely, she along with her offspring need to return back to the place where she conceived them.

Though this kind of turtles has a very small home range but then it is difficult to find out from where exactly this one was picked up.
