Three Toes

Olympic Animal Sanctuary isn't just a haven for dogs; this three-toed box turtle was found walking down the street near the Sanctuary this afternoon. She's had an encounter with a dog or possibly a close call with a car, as evidenced by significant damage to her shell, which was already deformed. The damage has healed and doesn't seem to be causing her any problems; see the second photo. The green stuff is from a pile of dandelion greens she was hiding under before the photo was taken.
