Here are a few
shots I took of the Red-eared Slider when I was last at the Emperor Valley Zoo. Their name is derived from the red skin around the ear region, and the fact that they
are known to be extremely brisk creatures! They are fresh water turtles and excellent
swimmers.

These turtles are omnivores, some of their foods include; fruits, vegetables, fish, aquatic plants and insects.
As
you can see they also enjoy basking in the sun!
