Description:

While Working for the DNR, had someone bring in this baby albino box turtle. It is about the size of a strawberry. Now in a zoo. This is an older picture, i'm not sure the exact date or location.

Agreed. I was so excited when they brought it in. I'm glad we could save this little guy.

How cool! I love when albinos happen in nature, probably best it is in captivity now though as it likely wouldn't have lasted long. Thanks for sharing!
