Title: Raccoon and Eastern Box Turtle
Specie: Procyon lotor and Terrapene Carolina Carolina

Description: Procyon lotor and Terrapene Carolina Carolina. This illustration depicts a Raccoon and Eastern Box Turtle interaction (in the United States). One of the turtles' common predators are raccoons, but the turtle has a special hinge on their plastron (lower shell) that enables them to tuck his fleshy extremities and head into his shell when under attack by a predator, thus increasing the turtles' chance of survival.
