The Wood Turtle is a medium-sized turtle native to North America, primarily found in the northeastern United States and parts of Canada. They are known for their distinctive, high-domed shells that can range in color from brown to olive, often featuring intricate patterns. Wood Turtles typically inhabit areas near rivers, streams, and wetlands, where they can easily access both land and water. These turtles are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of foods including fruits, insects, and small aquatic animals. Wood Turtles are also known for their unique behavior of foraging on land, which sets them apart from many other turtle species. They are considered a threatened species due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures.
