SWIMMING ))) BOX TURTLE
### I didn't know Box turtles could swim or even went near the water, until I found one swimming away in a shallow pond..

### He / she was about 40 to 50 feet (12 to 15 m) from the shore and merrily swimming along. We basically have two main types of turtles, the Box and the Painted. There are others but are rare to find.  


### As I was standing at the shore taking his picture and also views of the pond, he swam right to where I was. I then took a video of him swimming

### I stood still as not to scare him but it was unnecessary as this bugger came directly to me. Pretty tame for a wild critter. When I come across them in my yard they want no part of me...

I hope you took him home with you! Haha @frot *Turtle Whisperer!*

I actually did not know that they swam, but, I knew they COULD. Perhaps it was the short way to get where he wanted to go.   :)

I read this early this morning and spit my coffee out. 

> I don't live in a shoe.
