Our Wildlife Manager at Rock Creek needed some maps of the Box Turtles he had tracked using radio telemetry. He had been tracking turtles since 2002. These simple maps were used in an academic article.
All of these turtles are female. The female turtles leave their "Established Activity Range" when they go to lay their eggs. It is interesting to see how far they go to spread their species and ensure genetic integrity. ...I don't think Turtle 47 laid any eggs... This was still pretty early in the study.
