    I was so lucky to watch the moment a mother painted turtle made her way to shore, dig a hole, birth her eggs, cover them and head back to water. As a mother, it was so special...I made sure to keep a distance so I didn't freak her out. I was honoured to witness such an event! Did you know? When she pushes an egg out, she sucks in her head!
