On "Animal Planet, Steilacoom," a group of 34 pond turtles with tiny radio transmitters glued to their shells will be released into the wild from Steilacoom on Friday.  The 10-month-old hatchlings are being reintroduced into the wild as part of a study and collaboration between Woodland Park Zoo, Oregon Zoo, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.  It's all in an effort to prevent the species’ extinction.  For the full story, check out the Woodland Park Zoo's Web site. â€" Ken Swarner
