What’s small (reaching a maximum size of 4.5 inches), has a shell, and a distinctive orange patch on each side of its head? A bog turtle! 🐢 This New York State native turtle is the smallest turtle species in North America! It is state listed as endangered and federally listed as threatened. It’s pretty neat that NYS has populations in the wild, but many thanks should be given to DEC, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), conservation partners, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS

It’s a bog turtle, not a big turtle. When they’re born, bog turtles are the size of a quarter. As adults, they’re only four inches. Watch as ARC Southern Appalachian Program Coordinator Mike Knoerr shows off a young bog turtle he found and some of the habitat from our bog turtle program. Although bog turtles are little, our program to recover them is big. For starters, to find remaining populations, we use machine learning that identifies habitat from aerial photography.

We see a big future for these tiny little diggers. When born, bog turtles are the size of a quarter. As adults, they’re only four inches. They are mysterious and secretive, spending most of their time buried in mud. Bog turtles are imperiled; they are a federally listed threatened species. The challenges facing this little reptile are huge: the bogs they rely on have been drained for development and agriculture, they are poached for the pet trade, and they’re hit by cars when they cross roads, l
