Red or yellow pond slider are the most famous turtles, widespread as a pet. Originally from North America, millions of individuals have been imported into Europe. Some of them have been released in nature and have reproduced in the wild.

Unfortunately, one of the many examples of animals imported by man we can no longer control.
