Our turtle ambassadors help connect aquarium visitors with the habitats that they live in. Join us this week to virtually meet live eastern box turtles, a gopher tortoise and spotted turtles among others. Watch a live turtle on the screen and sketch what you see. We will also share ideas for creating other kinds of turtle themed artwork that you can use to inspire and We hope you’ll create some turtle-y awesome art and share it with others!
