I have meet this turtle in Auvergne, a region in France. It was near an artificial lake. Do you know which species of turtle it is?

Turtle

Spotted along the path of the nature reserve area on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge. I had to wait quite awhile before he even stuck his head out this far.

This interesting turtlet was brought to Ecology Camp by Renn Tumlison and I was able to get a few pictures.

As soon as I got anywhere near he was off!

This little fellow was our neighbor in the resort we stayed in

Found on the hwy, brought him home and put him out back.

I feel so lucky that I got to swim with this beautiful creature.... I stayed with it for quite a long time and it didn't seem to be bothered by me at all! I did keep my distance though, so as not to disturb it!

arent they cute

Male painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) have extremely long front claws as shown here, which are used during courtship. Females have short claws but are larger in overall size. Courting takes place in the water: the male moves backwards facing the female while waving the long claws in a trembling motion along the sides of her head and neck. Mating takes place if the female is receptive to the male's display. The painted turtle is a common species in many areas of the US.
