From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

we live near the woods and a very small creek and my dogs have brought up a turtle. The turtle has been wounded on the shell there is a hole about the size of a dime on lower back shell & the front of the shell where it goes in is chewed up and kind of bloody looking. The turtle is still alive and has been three days now it comes out and moves around so I think that is a plus. I have brought it in and put in a empty fish tank. I don't know what to feed it or do for it could you please help? I live in Alabama and it's getting cold so I want to make sure it's OK before I let it go. A lot of people are saying to kill it but I'm not I love animals and that is not an option. My email address is davinabuck@bellsouth.net

[edit] Accuracy of Chart

This chart seems fairly inaccurate as it is based on opinionated regional terminology which is not factual information rather than scientific terms. --75.67.13.238 (talk) 04:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
