North American box turtle

We found this guy walking up our driveway today. and where i live is no place for a turtle so we took it out to the country side near the delta.  after i got a few pictures.  They are largely characterized by having a domed shell, which is hinged at the bottom, allowing the animal to close its shell tightly to escape predators.  Even though box turtles have become very popular pets, their needs in captivity are complex and the capture of turtles can have serious detrimental effects on the wild population.  The box turtle can commonly live up to twenty years, with verified cases of lifespans as long as 40 or 50 years. There have been unverified cases of box turtles living as long as one hundred years and more.  North American box turtles are omnivores. Their sharp eyes and keen sense of smell help them in finding food such as snails, insects, berries, fungi, slugs, worms, roots, flowers, fish, frogs, salamanders, various rodents, snakes, birds, and eggs.
