They are indeed wild. Our neighborhood is overrun with Virginia Whitetail deer; some call them long-legged rats, but they are cute. To reduce overpopulation, our municipality hires a hunting club to thin out the herd each fall, using only bows and arrows. Over the last several years, two bucks

Re: PESO: Box Turtle

Although box turtles are superficially similar to tortoises in terrestrial habits and overall appearance, they are actually members of the American pond turtle family. I love the green sea turtles that visit the Maui beaches. We have several pond turtles in the pond of our local park, and they
