How red-eared turtles take root in Russia

These reptiles are native to the warm countries of Central, North and South America. Therefore, initially zoologists had great doubts about whether the turtle could take root in the Russian climate. The species was brought and began to acclimatize in Moscow and the Moscow region. As a result, it turned out that the turtle was able to survive in these conditions. It is reliably known that red-eared live in such places:

• Yauza River;
• Pehorka River;
• Chermyanka River;
• Kuzminsky adagun;
• Tsaritsyno Ponds.

Individuals are found both singly and in groups. These are mainly small turtles, but there are also representatives up to 30-35 cm in length. For the winter, they go to the bottom of reservoirs and burrow into the sand, falling into hibernation around October or November. They return to active life in April or May. Therefore, despite the fact that the homeland of red-eared turtles is countries with a tropical and subtropical climate, they may well take root in more severe conditions.
