132: Blanding's Turtle w/ Tharusha Wijewardena!

Join Ellen & special guest Tharusha Wijewardena for a review of the charming and endangered Blanding's turtle. We discuss what to do if you see a turtle crossing the road, what cartoons get right and wrong about turtles, the perils of longevity and cute fluffy predators, and the conservation work that’s going into helping our tough-shelled friends.

Follow Tharusha on Twitter and learn more about the Headstarting Project over at the Toronto Zoo's website.
