An adult Diamondback terrapin is too close to the runway at John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport, New York on May 23, 2012. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Wildlife Services’ biologist Jenny Mastantuono and her staff work at John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport solving wildlife conflicts with people and planes. The Diamondback terrapin is a type of turtle that prefers to live in brackish marshes and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge around JFK is a favored habitat for these reptiles. In the late spring, they crawl on to land to lay their eggs in the sandy soils near the airport, often crossing runways to do so. Terrapins on the runway pose a threat to aircraft using the runways. If a plane hits the terrapins, their carcass can attract scavengers like gulls, which may pose an even greater danger to airline safety. USDA photo by Jenny Mastanuono
