Urban Turtle




This turtle tried to lay eggs 1 meter from Montrose Avenue in Chicago. I think its amazing to see this ancient looking creature lumberin along with the cars whizzing past in the background. The turtle had climbed up the steep, eroded 5 meter high riverbank and into a condo courtyard. We hope this video will remind people of the animals that would live here, even in the polluted river, even amoungst the cars and building, if we just gave the a little room. How wonderful it would be for us if we let them live! This is across from Horner Park, so these turtles are also trying to lay eggs in Horner Park, if only their was some habitat protection, there could be quite a nice wildlife area for school kids to visit! Maybe in the future there will be if people decide theyd like that.
