Esta es Turtle (así se llama), la tortuga de Lau. Es cariñosa, se deja acariciar la cabeza, se te acerca y te camina por los pies cuando tiene hambre... Y la tortuga también. XD XD XD
This is "Turtle" (that's her name), Lau's turtle. She is very loving, she lets you gently touch her head, she comes near you and walk in your feet whenever she is hungry... Oh, the turtle does that too. XD XD XD
Western painted turtle, Chrysemys picta bellii, sharing a log with dozens of red-eared sliders, Trachemys scripta elegans.
This painted turtle's long claws, used to grasp the female during mating, make it a male. Its bright red bottom shell distinguishes the subspecies.
Unfortunately, everywhere I see turtles in the Pacific Northwest, they're mostly the invasive sliders, released by pet owners, and only occasionally a painted turtle.
The red-eared slider in the closeup photo is distinguished from its other subspecies by the red stripe behind the eye, obscured by age in males.

Not something you see often in the park in Winter Park. Not wild...totally domestic. The owner was out walking her three turtles.
