The world according to me....

In North America, tis the season for turtle migration. That includes not only sea turtles, but also land and freshwater turtles. Cars are a major source of mortality for land and freshwater turtles at this time of year, as they attempt to cross roads. Whenever I see a turtle crossing a road, I always stop my car on the shoulder and try to get the turtle to the other side before it is hit. Unfortunately, many times the turtles are crushed before I can get to them, and sometimes I nearly get hit myself. There is no easy solution, except to slow down and keep your eyes peeled for walking shells that are trying to cross the road; when you see one, give it lots of space.
