Something very small and extra special just arrived at McWane Science Center in Birmingham, and it’s already making a big splash. Eight baby Mississippi diamondback terrapins, one of the South’s most fascinating turtle species, are the star of a brand-new Terrapin Nursery—a living exhibit that combines science, conservation and cuteness all in one.
I stopped by the new nursery to see what these tiny tots are all about, and trust me: It’s worth the drive from Huntsville to Birmingham to see them!
Read on to see how McWane, UAB and local aquarists are teaming up to protect these remarkable little reptiles.
The Terrapin Nursery at McWane is open now! Get your tickets and meet the turtles making waves for Alabama’s coastline wildlife.
