I was driving home from church today and found a good size cooter, maybe 9-10 inches basking in the center of my subdivision road. I stopped the car and was pretty sure he was in good health cause that sucker was powerful. I only have tortoises so I had no idea how strong large turtles were. I picked him up, put him in the trunk, and drove him to the river about 2 miles away. I cant think how he got there, he was covered in dry mud.
Im not sure what species he was because of the mud, but he had yellow stripes. anyways, it was exciting!
2nd time ive rescued a turtle from the road :][/align]
