               This aquatic turtle is native to the southern U.S. It is very popular in the pet trade and many have been released into the wild all over the world (including our Sanctuary). It is listed as one of the top 100 most invasive species in the world by IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). It eats aquatic plants, crayfish, snails, tadpoles, and fish. They are commonly seen basking on rocks or logs in the lake, swamp, or pond.
