One of the few turtles I’ve seen lately that was not completely covered in duck weed or fern. The vegetation is thick enough on a turtle around here that it’s hard to see front from back.
A nice clean pose so I grabbed a quick snap.
Yellow-bellied Slider Turtle.
Is that a yellow-bellied slider?
Yes, this is what is most common. Also, it’s the only one I know 🥹
Good pose.
He didn’t seem concerned I was passing by. Some slip into the shell, or the water.
