<p>Box turtles are actually very fierce creatures. Our new yard inhabitant can move very fast and eats cat food! Even my huntress, who kills baby possums, won’t mess with him. If you wikipedia box turtle, you will discover that they can snap their beaks in such a way to make a sound to drive off predators. Scared to pick him up when he’s in the way, just wait for him to move on, which he does very quickly! Yes, we do FEAR THE TURTLE!</p>
