Hi all,
Our local wildlife rehab center received a turtle today, found in a river at 820 meters above sea level in the Swiss countryside.
The rehaber is *extremely* competent, but we're unsure about how much experience she has in this domain.
Any thoughts on ID and what she should do in the short term (she's contacted the regional center of excellence, but is unlikely to get an answer until, at the earliest, tomorrow) would be gratefully accepted.
I've attached one photo and one video. There should be more, but IT problems are making things difficult.
Best regards -
Dave
PS. The video, an MP4, will not attach.
The turtle appears a pale pink beneath; the upper shell is fringed with pale dots; the legs (as you can see from the photo) are striped yellow and black; she/he's about the size of a human hand.
