What’s small (reaching a maximum size of 4.5 inches), has a shell, and a distinctive orange patch on each side of its head? A bog turtle! 🐢 This New York State native turtle is the smallest turtle species in North America! It is state listed as endangered and federally listed as threatened. It’s pretty neat that NYS has populations in the wild, but many thanks should be given to DEC, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), conservation partners, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS

It’s a bog turtle, not a big turtle. When they’re born, bog turtles are the size of a quarter. As adults, they’re only four inches. Watch as ARC Southern Appalachian Program Coordinator Mike Knoerr shows off a young bog turtle he found and some of the habitat from our bog turtle program. Although bog turtles are little, our program to recover them is big. For starters, to find remaining populations, we use machine learning that identifies habitat from aerial photography.

It’s World Turtle Day! From a tiny baby bog turtle to a massive leatherback, turtles come in many shapes and sizes. Found gliding through the open ocean or slowly trudging over desert plains, they are fascinating creatures. Because of environmental threats, several species are endangered and need our help.

The bog turtle is an endangered species in New Jersey. It is considered imperiled in this state due to its rarity and vulnerability throughout its range in the eastern United States. Tiny, dark and with a distinct orange patch behind the ears, they spend most of their lives underground. NJ Fish & Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP), New Jersey Audubon, and other Federal, State and non-government organization partners initiate conservation efforts including habitat management

Through a closer look into the sleep habits of tiny bog turtles, we explore the evolutionary history that shaped our own temperature requirements for restorative, quality sleep. Conservation biologist JJ Apodaca takes us deep into the Southern Appalachians to meet North America’s smallest and most endangered species of turtle. And with the help of the cutting-edge tech in Sleep Number’s 360 smart bed, Dr. Apodaca can use data-driven insights to understand his sleep and set the ideal conditions f

We see a big future for these tiny little diggers. When born, bog turtles are the size of a quarter. As adults, they’re only four inches. They are mysterious and secretive, spending most of their time buried in mud. Bog turtles are imperiled; they are a federally listed threatened species. The challenges facing this little reptile are huge: the bogs they rely on have been drained for development and agriculture, they are poached for the pet trade, and they’re hit by cars when they cross roads, l

Turtle Guardians on Instagram: "The spotted turtle is one of the smallest turtles in Ontario and eastern North America- rivalled closely with the musk turtle in size and only surpassed by the bog turtle for the tiniest of fellows. Spotted turtles are more habitat specific than other more commonly seen turtles such as painted turtles or snapping turtles, making them particularly vulnerable to habitat losses and alterations. Like most other turtles their sexual maturity is reached slowly with male
