The number of incoming animals differs from the total placed/died because animals may be held over to the next quarter.

Snapping turtles are placed out of state; western pond turtles are released to CDFG.

Abbreviations: M.F.U = Male.Female.Undetermined; CDFG = California Department of Fish and Game.
