This small Northern Map Turtle went on quite the adventure today to get a leech removed from its arm. This small turtle really went the distance in order to have it removed and was returned later that day to its natural habitat! It was really awesome to see a Northern Map turtle at such a small size that was able to be returned to its home. This native species to Rondeau Provincial park is always a sight to behold, getting to see it up close or from a distance. The visitors center houses an adult Northern Map turtle which is also really cool to see in person!
