TORTOISE you say?!
This past month, several strange reports came in regarding signings of a tortoise tromping about the Marsh. Thanks to the keen eyes of our visitors, we were able to track her down! After some digging, we discovered that we had found Molly the pet African Spurred Tortoise. Molly had been missing for 2 weeks and had somehow managed to travel 20km+ from home!

Canada has no native tortoise species, and while Molly may have passed for a snapping turtle from a distance, she was very out of her element in a wetland ecosystem. African Spurred Tortoises are terrestrial animals native to hot, arid climates like the Saharan Dessert.

After receiving lots of snacks from the Centre staff, Molly was reunited with her family safe and sound, if a little tired. Thank you to everyone that got her there, and thank you to Molly, our honorary Marsh ambassador, for teaching us a little bit about what to expect (and what not to expect) at Oak Hammock Marsh!
