Additional Information: Figure 1. Sam Droege (Wildlife Biologist) examines an Eastern Box Turtle on 28 June 2001. The Patuxent River is in the background. Figures 2–5. The same turtle. In Figure 5, Dan Kjar is examining the turtle. This turtle lacked growth rings on its carapace which indicates that it is a very old turtle perhaps as old as 100 years, the age attained by some individuals of this species.
