WANTED: Softshell Turtle Sightings by Aubrey Greene, Wildlife Diversity Biologist/Herpetologist H ave you seen a softshell turtle in North Carolina? We want to hear

about it! We developed a new reporting tool for softshell turtles so the public can share sightings and help us better under- stand where this species occurs in North Carolina. The reporting tool activated in mid-September, and we already have 28 reports representing 18 counties —thanks to those who have already contributed! If you see one of these cool critters, please remember to take a picture and report your sighting!
