Turtle in backyard

Yesterday we had a new visiter in our backyard...a small turtle. Kids have named it Ernie. We googled for tutle pictures and found that this is a 'box tutle'.
Chinar immediately called his friend Kendall who stays on opposite side. They were trying to pet and feed the turtle.

Manali made a small habitat pond for Earnie and dropped some leaves and sticks apart from a big stone to rest, But Earnie was happy to roam around in the backyard. We will be leaving for India in 2 days so this visiter will have to be let out in the wild again.
