Windows PowerShell Pocket Reference, 2nd Edition

Colophon

The animal on the cover of Windows PowerShell Pocket Reference, Second Edition, is the box turtle of the genus Terrapene. There are four species of box turtle, all of which are native to North America. Even though different species of this turtle can be found in distinct habitats, the box turtle is generally found in moist areas, especially moist woodlands.  

The box turtle has a very domed shell, the size of which varies between species. The pattern on its shell also depends on the species, with some having stripes and others having yellow or brown spots. The box turtle is an omnivore that eats invertebrates and vegetation.  

Like other turtles, once the box turtle reaches maturity, it has a higher chance of surviving. Unless killed by common predators such as raccoons or rodents, this turtle will typically live between 30 and 50 years, with some box turtles living even far longer.
