Sunning our box turtles helps give them good sun exposure, as well as an opportunity to explore a different habitat, which benefits their overall health! 👏 ☀️ Did you know box turtles are a native species to Florida? 🐢 Have you seen any out in the wild? 👀 | The Florida Aquarium

This Florida Box Turtle had been chewed on most likely by a wild hog. An Invasive species introduced hundreds of years ago. Even after hundreds if years our native wildlife has not evolved much against them as some people might believe possible especially with other invasive species. Hogs are known to eat many native reptiles mostly being snakes & turtles. #turtle #turtles #boxturtle #invasivespecies | Daniel Perez
