Turtle Invasion in Meadowvale Village

What I learned about the Eastern Snapping Turtle:

*They must be at least 15 years old to lay eggs.
*They dig holes in the ground to burry their eggs.
*They enjoy gravel to dig holes for their eggs.
*Their eggs are perfectly round and the size of ping-pong balls.
*They lay about 30 eggs.
*Raccoons and skunks love to eat the Turtle's eggs.
*The mother Turtle leaves her baby eggs to allow them to survive on their own.
*Some live in Credit Valley.
*They are at risk because many of them get hit by cars.
*If they need to move, you can put a piece of cardboard, the car mat or something under the Eastern Snapping Turtle and help move it in the direction it was going in.
