Midland Painted Turtle - LP Zoo

A midland painted turtle, I
In North America do dwell,
Brightly colored I don't deny,
Having a green and yellow shell,
With beaded lines of black and red
Forming a look of artful wreath,
Where I stick in and out my head.
Sometimes I like to stay beneath
The freshwater where dark and cool.
Sometimes on log or rock I'm found,
Soaking up rays of sunny fuel,
Aware of all that be around.

Visit me at Lincoln Park Zoo.
We'll play a game of peek-a-boo.
