What’s small (reaching a maximum size of 4.5 inches), has a shell, and a distinctive orange patch on each side of its head? A bog turtle! 🐢 This New York State native turtle is the smallest turtle species in North America! It is state listed as endangered and federally listed as threatened. It’s pretty neat that NYS has populations in the wild, but many thanks should be given to DEC, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), conservation partners, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS

It’s a bog turtle, not a big turtle. When they’re born, bog turtles are the size of a quarter. As adults, they’re only four inches. Watch as ARC Southern Appalachian Program Coordinator Mike Knoerr shows off a young bog turtle he found and some of the habitat from our bog turtle program. Although bog turtles are little, our program to recover them is big. For starters, to find remaining populations, we use machine learning that identifies habitat from aerial photography. We also often look for b

Here’s some rare footage of a wild Bog Turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) escaping into his tunnel. They dig these small tunnels to use as hibernacula during the winter, and in the spring, they emerge from among the roots to forage, bask, and mate throughout the fen’s thick tussocks of sedges/grasses and clumps sphagnum moss.

From Bog Turtle researcher, Mike Knoerr, “Meet male 4.2 (aka Jackie Robinson). I have found this big fella more times than any other bog turtle as I often work in his fen and know where he lives (in some willow roots with 2-3 females and sometimes a bullfrog). This spring he and his lady friends were totally MIA from their usual haunts. I eventually found him ~100m away chowing down on a nightcrawler. Today, we found him and his girlfriends back under their willows. The females are just about bu
