I found a red-eared slider turtle this afternoon around 2:15 pm near the Canal Park Lighthouse along Harbor Drive in Duluth. It's about 4 inches long, with a bright green shell and distinct yellow stripes along each scute, and a telltale red patch behind the left eye. It also has a small crescent-shaped scar on the back edge of the shell and a faint scuff on the front right claw from a climb. It seemed alert but a bit chilly, so I kept him in a breathable tote with a damp towel while I looked for the owner. If you recognize this turtle or have tips to reunite him with his family, please reach out—getting him home safely would mean a lot.
