#Alabama has more #freshwater #turtle #species than any state! The Flattened musk turtle is the only freshwater turtle that is completely #endemic to Alabama. Endemic to the #BlackWarriorRiver #watershed, it is a threatened species under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct. #WorldTurtleDay

It's @WorldTurtleDay! 🐢💚 Here’s how you can make a big difference: ✋ Slow your roll. Road mortality is a major threat. Stick to speed limits and watch for wildlife crossing.

Turtles are ancient animals that have existed for millions of years. Human activity could undo that in decades. This World Turtle Day, we are calling for stronger protections to keep turtles safe from plastic, fishing gear and habitat loss.

Happy World Turtle Day! 🐢 Towie the Turtle helps us teach about native habitats along the NYS Canal System. Keep turtles safe: give wildlife room, reduce plastic use and "clean, drain, dry" your gear to stop invasive species. #WorldTurtleDay @NYSDEC
