They are supposed to be very endangered, but yet there is a new housing development or a stripmall or something going up in a location that has tons and tons of bog turtles all through the field and especially in the muddy construction vehicle tracks.
Im sure the wetlands survey or whatever was disregarded in this case.
Of course I see fish and boat commission with the absolute worst field guides ever trying to id native species at reptile shows, one spent 25 minutes trying to id a black ratsnake on a table to a Petersons field guide picture once, I guess he determined it to be a different species.
