SEATTLE — The 37 western pond turtles that the Woodland Park Zoo has been raising for the past 11 months were released in a protected Lakewood ecosystem Friday morning.
At the beginning of every summer, the turtle eggs are collected and sent to the Woodland Park Zoo where they are hatched and kept safe for three months. Shortly after they hatch, the turtles are raised for a year and then released once their shells are too big to be eaten by predators.
