Are there enough National Parks to name all these turtles?!

You may remember that the naming theme for turtles this year is National Parks. We have been receiving lots of turtles this season, but we won't be in a shortage of names so don't worry!

We are using the names of places that are run by the National Park Service, which gives us a larger list of choices. This includes national monuments, national seashores and more. Check out the NPS website to see our numerous choices!

Some examples of names we have so far are Denali, Ellis Island, Zion and Tonto. Though the turtles are being given nicknames, we are still referring to them by number or band color for now because of the large numbers of animals. It is easier to keep track of them that way, but we will have no trouble continuing with the naming theme for the season!
