Though tough and able to protect from many dangers, a turtle shell was not designed for the risks of the modern world. During the last few weeks of May, we received a number of turtles with shell injuries. Most had been hit by cars, probably while crossing the road in search of a place to lay eggs. This turtle has an injury to his plastron, the bottom shell, and will be with us while it heals.
