Field Notes

Description:

The shell is brown with yellow radiating lines.

Habitat:

Was caught in a bobcat trap another student is using for research, so he brought it to school so we can take measurements and mark it for recapture. It will be released again tomorrow in the mixed grass prairie it came from.
