Map Turtles.

I was trying to think up a good title for this image.
I thought of something like
99 map turtles on the dock,
99 map turtles...

Didn't fit but now I've got 99 bottles of beer on the wall stuck in my head.
Is it yours now.
Misery loves company.

Graptemys geographica

Female northern map turtles may take more than 10 years to reach maturity. They nest from June through July and lay a single clutch of up to 17 eggs. They hatch in the fall, and in some cases the hatchlings overwinter in the nest. The incubation temperature of the eggs determines the gender of the hatchlings.
