Sign - Crocodile park Torremolinos

The invasive turtles in the photo on this sign are mostly native to North America.

@captain alligator Well if they were native to Europe they wouldn't be invasive

I knew about the invasiveness of Red-eared Sliders, but I didn't realize how many other North American turtles had become invasive in southern Europe! I'm especially surprised by the Florida Red-bellied Cooters (P. nelsoni)!
