Wary

Wary, originally uploaded by Ezra F.

He or she very carefully sat still and watched me take pictures. Later, I touched the back of the shell to cause a hiss and retreat back into the shell.

This is my new favorite.

UPDATE: Same Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene Carolina) as in Fear or alt. He or she very carefully sat still and watched me take pictures. Taken at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia.
