The ornate box turtle can lock itself inside its own shell and wait out almost anything. John Legler tracked Terrapene ornata across the plains to learn how it lives, breeds, feeds and survives the seasons. A definitive study of a familiar prairie reptile. Discover the long, slow life hidden under that hinged shell.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
