More than 825 baby diamondback terrapin turtles rescued from New Jersey storm drains have made their home at Stockton University in recent weeks. As the turtles attempt to cross streets, they can easily slip into storm drains. Local volunteers have been scooping up the hatchlings using modified nets, and bringing them to the university in Galloway, N.J. Stockton Vivarium said it is caring for 1,108 terrapins, mostly recent hatchlings. They will spend about a year at the center before being released into the wild.
