Description: English: July 18th, 2020 High of 94 degrees Fahrenheit 76 degrees Fahrenheit at capture While walking along a river on a warm, sunny morning for smooth softshell turtles I noticed this older adult male box turtle standing on the edge of the river. He appeared to have recently crossed. Unfortunately his path onward was obstructed by rocky ledges, but I left him to his journey. Jefferson County, Missouri. Date: 17 July 2020, 20:14:50. Source:
