Rex goes into the Big Boy pond!

Today big boy Rex, the Red-bellied Slider, was released into the pond behind the Nature Center. Rex was given to the nature center last spring by a caring little girl. She found him outside and he was only the size of a quarter. Rex is now bigger than my hand and was ready to free into the wild. Rex thanks everyone for their company in the nature center and hopes that you come and visit to feed him in the pond out back!! He told me to tell you to make sure he gets most of the turtle food! So look for him while you are out feeding the turtles behind the nature center! Here's one last look at him before you go! Keep safe little Rexy!
