Hello. If you weren't in Kansas then please move the map marker to where you were. Was it New Jersey? You can click on "Edit this spotting" then fill in the search box under "Where did you find it?". If it was New Jersey, fill that in (or put wherever it was) then click Search. You can then move the marker to the exact or nearby location of your spotting. Just put the pointer on the marker, hold down the left mouse button and then "pan" (move) to the spot. Release the mouse button when you are there. Then click the "Save changes" button at the bottom of your spotting.
That's weird... I wasn't in Kansas.
Thank you for telling me that!!!!!
Yep, that's a box turtle :) You should move it from "Amphibians" to "Reptiles," though.
