Glyptemys insculpta resuced in Brooklyn
When Michelle spotted a wood turtle on her sidewalk in Brooklyn she new she had to do something.
Quote: I knew she wouldn’t last long on my busy Brooklyn block. It would be nice to think that this turtle was a sign that the city was getting green enough that wild turtles were migrating here to live in their natural habitat, but this is not the case. I picked up the turtle and brought her indoors.

Who’s Who…
Gabriel Bibron (1805 – 1848) was a French zoologist, and herpetologist. He classified a large number of reptile species with André Marie Constant Duméril. Duméril was interested mainly in the relations between genera, leaving Bibron to the task of describing the species. Together they produced the Erpétologie Générale, a comprehensive account of the reptiles, published in ten volumes from 1834 to 1854. Also, Bibron assisted Duméril with teaching duties at the museum and was an instructor at a primary school in Paris.
