Each time a chance meeting with any wildlife during morning walks, our human feels deeply pleased and privileged.
Lately it was with this lovely spiny turtle.
Not to frighten it, our human slowly and carefully place one foot beside it for comparison before snapping this photo.
And then noticed that there was a hole in its shell.
Can you see it?
Standing still, our human contemplated whether to help it to the vet or not. Bending forward for a closer look, that hole was not that big, approximately about 0.75cm in diameter.
Our human decided to let Nature heal itself as environmental change and journey to the vet may not go well with it...
...and continued the walk after watching that probably male spiny turtle entered the thick undergrowth beside the path.
Let us hope we meet again!

Hopefully, it is minimal damage to this little one and all will be well in time. A sweet photo.
What a lovely photo of that turtle friend. We hope that hole heals over and that your human and the turte can meet up again.
You are indeed lucky to meet such wonderful creatures. So observant and kind to think of it's vet needs. I think you made a good call, and suspect you will cross paths once more.

Poor turtle. I hope he ( or she) will be OK. XO
Awww I hope that little guy recovers quickly.
That is a nice looking turtle and I hope he heals up just fine.
