25 Yellow-Spotted Amazon River Turtles Hatch at the Zoo!
We have some teeny tiny new arrivals – 25 yellow-spotted Amazon River turtles hatched at the zoo on June 11! While smaller than our Giant Amazon River turtles, these guys can grow up to 2 feet long. Did you know that scientists believe the gender of a hatchling turtle is dependent upon the temperature in which the egg is incubated? The warmer the nest, the more female hatchlings!
