Turtles Find New Homes at Bowyer Farm | Cincinnati News
Description
Ten Eastern box turtles released at Bowyer Farm by the Cincinnati Zoo are thriving—GPS trackers show they’re healthy, exploring locally, and avoiding predators. Researchers monitor their movements hourly and check on their well-being every couple of weeks, noting they’ve adapted quickly despite initial hesitation. The project aims to test if relocating turtles can boost their population, with data collected through brumation and spring emergence. Public support—including naming and “adopting” turtles—helps fund the study, turning science into community engagement.
