15 Years to Grow, 3 Seconds to Die Survived drought, predators, and a lifetime in the wild Returned to the same path, year after year, to lay eggs Her shell defended against bobcatsher bite, against bears But it couldnt stop two tires and a second glance She died bleeding, just 15 feet from safety Her future died with herunhatched, unnoticed Slow down. Theyve walked this land longer than we have. #ProtectWildlife #TurtleCrossing

15 Years to Grow, 3 Seconds to Die
Survived drought, predators, and a lifetime in the wild
Returned to the same path, year after year, to lay eggs
Her shell defended against bobcatsher bite, against bears
But it couldnt stop two tires and a second glance
She died bleeding, just 15 feet from safety
Her future died with herunhatched, unnoticed

Slow down. Theyve walked this land longer than we have.
