Wood turtles are reptiles found in North America.
Wood turtles can grow to 23 centimeters (9 inches) long. They live near water. But they spend most of their time on land.
The turtle’s hard shell protects its soft body from harm. When in danger, a turtle pulls its head inside the shell.
Turtles eat fruit, worms, and insects.
Wood turtles search for food on the forest floor.
