ReplyDeleteNever seen one, lovely Turtle.
ReplyDeleteMe encantan los animales. Gracias por este post.

ReplyDeleteBest regards
turtles are incredible animals:)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful is that turtle !! I hope it can reproduce freely, and survive. Here in Almería a couple of years ago, they brought Florida softshell turtles to the aquarium which is near to the town. I hope they are well.
ReplyDeleteNice photos, thanks for sharing them.
Have a great day, stay safe and big hugs

We don't have turtles like this in Europe :(
ReplyDeleteNo I'm not so busy at this moment :D I have much time at home, because my office is still closed - Corona. But thanks =)
ReplyDeleteInteresting posts. I like turtles a lot, but here in Germany there are not so much of them, only in zoos.
I've only seen soft-shell crabs! Are their shells related? Were they eaten which lead to their near extinction?

In my area those species don't live but sometimes I wish I lived in some more exotic places where such creatures live naturaly. Hope this turtle won't go extinct and hope we will do something to prevent this from happening.
