predator and prey and help maintain balances in ecosystems. These turtles are
omnivorous meaning they eat plant material and animals, such as insects, worms,
cacti and succulents, even small mice with their favorite food being- dung beetles!
They also burrow, tilling the land and providing quality soil and nutrients to many
different types of plant species; this helps benefit other wildlife as well.
Box turtles also have their challenges, like many other species. We all
know that turtles are rather slow in their movements and many turtles
have perished on roads trying to cross in search of a mate, food, or new
home. Unfortunately poaching is another threat. Box turtles are the
most trafficked animals in the world. They are often grabbed out of the
wild, even in Nebraska, and sold overseas as exotic pets. However, with
the Ornate Box Turtle as our new state symbol and now featured on
license plates, this hopefully will bring appreciation and awareness to this
extraordinary reptile.
To show your support for wildlife like the Ornate Box Turtle and to help fund
conservation efforts, consider purchasing a Nebraska Wildlife Conservation Fund
license plate from your nearby state DMV or order online at dmv.nebraska.gov/
services.
