MONROE, La. (KNOE) – On this week’s Zoo Buddy section, we’re assembly some ornate box turtles on the Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo!
“I introduced these guys on as a result of not many individuals see these guys in Louisiana,” says Basic Curator Lisa Taylor. “They’re from North America, sometimes they’re discovered from the rocky mountains all the way in which down the Mississippi river. And so they reside in quite a lot of totally different habitats so that they like mountainous areas, they like grassy plains, they just like the desert space, they usually just like the Louisiana marshes.”
She says they prefer to burrow into the bottom, which may very well be why you don’t see them too typically.
The zoo is open on daily basis of the week between 10 a.m. to five p.m. You possibly can name (318) 329-2138 for extra data and test their Facebook page for an replace on their new sloth enclosure!
