Wilson and Gator are missing from La Plaza Cultural



Wilson and Gator, two of the resident turtles at La Plaza Cultural, are missing.

EVG reader Chris W. shared this missing poster from outside the community garden on the southwest corner of Avenue C and Ninth Street. There's an undisclosed reward for their return. No word if they were stolen or made a getaway on their own...

That's really sad. Turtles are not really great escape artists (unlike tortoises)
I fear the worst.

I think part of the problem is the new fence. It has gaps low enough that it is a little easier for a turtle to leave the garden. The old fence was a chain link one with very few gaps a turtle could use.

When it is mating season, they do wander...

I've heard the turtles left individually on their own. Probably the new fence, yes.
