We're animal people. It bothers us when people call sea lions seals, moths butterflies, alpacas llamas... the list goes on. The good news? You can't go wrong calling shelled guys like this turtles! Happy #WildTurtleWeek! #EveryTurtleCounts PC: Houston our Co-chair

๐ข Even if we ignore the negative environmental implications of removing a turtle from the wild, do you realize how difficult they are to take care of? Leave them be. #WildTurtleWeek #KeepWildTurtlesWild #WorldTurtleDay #TurtlesNeedOurHelp #EveryTurtleCounts #TurtlePower

Fowler's Toads prefer sandy and gravelly substrates. Habitat loss from construction and the degradation of shoreline beaches threatens their survival. Advocating for change is imperative for so many of our favorite amphibians. ๐ฑ #AmphibianWeek, #AmphibianWeek2026 #AmphibianAlly

Nature's Kidneys! ๐ชท Wetlands clean water, mitigate erosion, reduce carbon pollution, and provide homes for countless herps. What can you do to support them? Use your voice, vote for change, support local non-profits and pick up litter. #WetlandWednesday #AmphibianWeek
