Well, I don't usually find myself at this end of the forum but I have something to share
The recent post of @mark1 beautiful turtles made me realize that I've never seen any water turtles (excluding sea turtles) here, so I searched, and there are some that live here!
I never thought we had water turtles over here, but it makes sense. The ancestor of all torts and turtles lived in what is the today Karoo. So we have 14 tort species. 5 fresh water turtle species and 5 sea turtle species. Really fascinating if you ask me!
