The Red-Eared Slider Turtle in Real Life
The red-eared slider turtle is a freshwater species native to the southern United States and northern Mexico. It commonly lives in ponds, lakes, marshes, rivers, and slow-moving streams where it spends time swimming and basking in the sun. Its name comes from the bright red stripe located behind each eye. Red-eared sliders are omnivores and feed on aquatic plants, insects, fish, and small invertebrates.
These turtles are strong swimmers and can remain underwater for long periods before surfacing for air. During colder weather, they may enter a state of reduced activity called brumation while buried in mud or resting underwater. Because they are popular pets, red-eared sliders have been introduced into many parts of the world, where they sometimes compete with native turtle species for food and habitat.
