Did you know during Brumation turtle hibernate under the frozen lake? Turtles extract oxygen bubbles from the water to survive three months under the ice. Come create your own frozen bubbles at the Nature Center. Temperature must be under to make the bubbles work. We will still have fun turtle facts for you to learn.
