Last week I was walking to an interview and came upon a turtle trying to cross the road. I picked it up and safely put it down on the other side in the direction it was headed. I got to the office and the interviewer walked in.
It was the turtle.
Ya never know, folks!

The green area is where alligators can be found in North Carolina.
In other words...the further you go into the green area, the higher probability of one seeing you later.

Great news for sea turtles!
More than 90 green sea turtle nests were laid in North Carolina this season, the most we've ever seen. The previous record was 62 nests in 2019.
To put this in perspective: Twenty years ago, it was a exciting to see 10-15 nests in a single season.

Not only is it illegal to have a pet alligator in North Carolina, it's also dangerous.
You could try and teach it to play fetch, but you'd probably throw the ball and it would come back with the neighbor's dog.

Regarding The Twelve Days of Christmas...
If someone keeps unloading birds on you and calling them gifts, they are probably not your "true love" and a restraining order might be the best present you get that year.

Even if you find an alligator in your candy bar, you still can't keep it as a pet.

Don't feed Crocs to gators.
In fact, don't feed them anything. It causes them to associate humans with an easy meal, which could lead to dangerous situations. Plus, it's against the law.
So...okay?

Seeing foxes around your neighborhood, even during the day? If so, it is likely because kit-rearing season is upon us. Young foxes are maturing and spending more time outside of the den, making sightings of them and adult foxes more likely. Learn more:

- Pull over safely.
- Move the turtle in the direction it was headed.
- Pick it up by the back of the shell with two hands.
- Watch out for the claws and bitey parts.
- Pat yourself on the back for being a friend of turtles.
- Have a cupcake or something. You earned it.

Wild parents can’t hire a babysitter and it is normal for many species to leave their young unattended for long periods. Never assume young wildlife has been abandoned or orphaned just because you don’t see a parent nearby.
