You forgot to add: once they find your fishing spot, they never leave. 😑

Turtles are actually one of my favorite animals. =) Glad you enjoyed the vid!

Those animals are cool. You may find them even in Rome among the river Tiber and in large numbers. However here in Italy they aren’t extremely fit to the environment and sometimes they struggle to survive, but their population keeps growing because pet owners drop them in the rivers.

I just seen a turtle in a pond here in Scottsdale, Arizona and supposedly it's one of these, I put my hand in my pocket to take a picture and it quickly dove underwater before I could

Ahh that's happened to me before. Hopefully you'll get another chance at snapping a picture!

Very nice! Thanks! You always have amazing content! I think we might have pong turtles in Washington, I’ve seen some turtles by Lake Washington, but they might be a bit bigger than these turtles, don’t know what type they were... 🐢🐢🐢

Glad you enjoyed it! =) These turts have gotten pretty far around the world, I wouldn't be surprised if it was pond turtles you're seeing there.
