Location: Pond at Riverdale farm
Date photo taken: 25 October 2012
The ponds at Riverdale Farm have all sorts of interesting
things to watch, including lots of turtles. The day of this shot, there were four
turtles visible, all red eared sliders. This image captures two of them - the second turtle’s head is just visible in
the water, to the right of the log. This species isn’t native to Ontario. Normally
they’re only found in the southern United States
but they’ve become established elsewhere – including Toronto apparently – due to pet releases.
