Anyone know what a Turtle jump is? LOL... that's when you and your kids drive

off the side of the road abruptly, jump out of the car and save a turtle from

the impending traffic. Keeping safety in mind first of course.....= ) And

placing it in the direction it was traveling in a more secure area.......

Yup, been there done that. Last time was in FL we saw a turtle

crossing the onramp to the highway. There had been lots of

contruction and there was nothing there - just dry dirt, and it was

about 100*. We ended up putting him (her?) in the car and driving to

an area with a retention pond (we called a friend and described him,

and she said he'd be a water dude)... we put him next to the water and

boy, you never saw anything take off so fast! As slow as they are on

land, was as fast as he was in the water. I don't remember the kind

of turtle, but he had little nose that looked like a pig nose (the

turtle, however, was about a foot across).

all the time!!!! My husband was a zookeeper years back and he would take

the damaged ones to the vet at his zoo, even if we were 2 hours away!
