Western Pond Turtle

How many Western Pond Turtles have the good fortune of getting their picture taken with a reflection of majestic MountTamalpais in the foreground? The answer is ~ not many! The Western Pond Turtle is the pond's native turtle of record. Other turtles, such as the Slider, are being very humanly trapped and transported away from the lake. A word of caution. Don't even think of getting rid of your pet-turtle in the lake. Doing so will risk a fine of thousands of dollars.
