hi, my dad found this turtle while driving home from work. he saw him crawling torwards the road so he pulled over. by the time he got to him he got hit two times. on his right hind leg he lost his claws which r growing back in. on his plastron he has a deep gash in his shell and there r also some chips off on his carapace. please do not pay attention to the m on his back.
