Look at what hatched! 😱 Yucatan box turtles (Terrapene yucatan) are a very unique and rare box turtle that only occurs on the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. The males develop amazing, atypical coloration in the form of blues, yellows and even bright white. Some will feature pink hues, as well. Like other box turtles we are more familiar with in the United States, Yucatáns prefer moist forests and live a mostly terrestrial life. They are omnivores and prefer to consume fallen fruit, invertebrates

🐢 Fact: Box turtles are opportunistic omnivores. They feed mainly on insects. However, they also eat plant matter, carrion, and prey upon a variety of other small animals, including snails, worms, spiders, and crickets. #boxturtle #turtlesofinstagram #animalrescue #wildliferehab #mowildlife | Wildlife Rescue Center
