Description
5 Rivers’ Educators will be talking about Alabama’s state reptile, the Alabama Red-Bellied Turtle. This endangered species is found only in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and surrounding area. Females nest on land around the Delta, including 5 Rivers property. Hatchlings are small, about the size of a quarter, and have a very high mortality rate from predation. Each year, hatchlings are found on land at 5 Rivers by observant staff and guests, and are then released to the water. Come learn about this fascinating and charismatic turtle. This family-friendly cruise leaves from the Bartram Landing at the Delta Resource Center, 30945 Five Rivers Blvd, Spanish Fort, AL 36527
