The Red Ear Slider Turtle get it's name from the distinctive red mark around his ears and they slid off rocks and logs very quickly. They are almost entirely aquatic but they leave the water to bask in the sun or to lay eggs. They are aware of people and usually shy away from them. This turtle is a great pet and is very frendly. He does not play about his food. Did you know that thay do not have saliva glands? This means they must eat in water? These are some of my favoriate animals. Most of them are sea animals but some are land animals. Many are very large and some are small. I saw these in Florida and others in Tennessee but they came from all over the world. They were brought here to the US for us to see. Let me tell you some facts about these animals.
