Sunbathing Red Eared Slider Turtle on the tree trunk in a pond. Native in USA, this kind of turtle is the most common pets of all turtles species, but at the same time it is one of the most aggressive invasive species (introduced species) of animals and it has been listed as one of the "Top 100 Worlds Worst Invaders" published by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). This one is captured on the pond in Germany.

I have seen red-eared terrapins in this pond in Mitcham, Surrey, England - probably released by pet owners. This, however, looks like a closely related sub-species, the yellow-bellied slider (Trachemys scripta scripta). Originally from Uruguay / South America, these terrapins enjoyed 15 minutes of fame when the teenage mutant ninja turtles entered our living rooms. Along with the turtles, the terrapins' star faded and many were released into the wild. This one has survived the dredging of its home pond and is sun bathing on a barley hay bale.

This vibrant photograph captures a red-eared slider turtle perched on a gray rock, surrounded by green-tinted water. The turtle's distinctive red marking behind its eye is clearly visible, contrasting with its olive-green shell and yellow-striped skin. The reptile appears to be basking, with its head raised and limbs extended, showcasing the classic behavior of these semi-aquatic creatures. The image beautifully illustrates the turtle's natural habitat, with the algae-rich water providing a lush, verdant backdrop that emphasizes the turtle's colors and textures.
