    A bearded man wearing a black 'Etihad Airways' Nike jersey, a camouflage cap, and waders stands in a wetland or marsh environment. He is holding a turtle while measuring it with calipers, suggesting wildlife research or conservation fieldwork. The background features dense reeds, cattails, and green vegetation typical of a wetland habitat.

    Chris Akios uses a set of Vernier calipers to measure the turtle’s shell before notching the edge so future researchers will be able to track the movements and growth if recaptured.

    A bearded man wearing camouflage waders and a cap is standing waist-deep in a shallow wetland or pond, handling a wire mesh floating platform or nesting structure. The structure appears to be a man-made floating nest or trap with a light blue foam/cushion top, anchored by a stick in the water. The setting is a lush green marsh environment with cattails and aquatic vegetation.
    A human hand is holding a small turtle close to the camera, revealing its face and front limbs tucked partially into its shell. The turtle displays distinctive orange-red coloring on its neck and legs with dark mottled patterning, consistent with a Wood Turtle (Glyptemys insculpta). The background is a blurred green vegetation setting, suggesting an outdoor natural environment.

    A turtle is photographed from directly above, resting among ferns, dead leaves, and grass on a forest floor. The shell displays a dark gray-brown coloration with visible yellow markings near the center and intricate scute patterning with concentric growth rings. The turtle appears to be stationary with its head slightly visible on the left side.
