Eastern Box Turtle
Nature's little hinged "lockbox"
Nature's little hinged "lockbox"
Quiet climbers of the night canopy
Island giants of salmon season
The flute-voice of open fields
Built for Welsh hills, bred for beef
Southern wetlands' striped heavyweight
Wetland hunter with a tiger's bite
Slick-coated taurine built for the tropics
Built for the rangeland, born in color
Forward horns, old Britain's beef
Night-climber that changed Guam's forests
Banded, black, and built for wetlands
Street-smart primate, social to the core
Velvet-dark ambush hunter of California
Desert jewel, webbing machine
Fire-legged, burrow-built, Mexico-made
Smallest oriole, biggest spring song
Hear it: "peet-sah" in the shade
Downy divers of the far north
A spark of orange in deep shade
The woodland sprinter with a long tail
White-headed goose of the sea-ice edge
Crown of the Arctic pack ice
The lily-pad walker of the wetlands
