The warmer months are ending, and #Ontario ’s turtles are preparing for the cold #Canadian winters! 🐢 #DYK turtles hibernate underwater? 🌊 Their body temp matches the water, just above 0°C, slowing their metabolism so they can survive months without food or air! #TurtleTuesday

Earlier this summer, Colin Cassin from @OntarioTurtleCC released turtles. Volunteers are trained to gently handle them, ensuring a safe release into well-vegetated sites. Will they dive straight into the water or savour their surroundings? Watch and find out!
