Today in the Philadelphia region, a remarkable natural wonder is unfolding; Snapping Turtle mammas are walking miles from their aquatic habitat across land to find a spot to lay their eggs. You may observe them along their journey as they cross streets, parking lots, and yards. The following day, the mothers will depart on their return trip. In a few weeks, the eggs will hatch and the baby turtles will make their way to water.
If you are lucky enough to observe any part of this process, please do not disturb the mother or her eggs.
