On an autumn walk we came across three baby terrapins sunning themselves on a rock, they dived for the pool before I could get my camera out. But one of them crawled back onto the rock and I got a quick snapshot. Each looked about 6cm diameter. In another pool we saw an adult, floating on the surface of the water, about 20cm diameter. Every now and then it would sink out of sight, cooling itself presumably in the deep water, before returning the sunny surface.
5 to remember
un galápago – a terrapin
se tiró – it dived
un foto – a snapshot
el diámetro – the diameter
el bordo – the edge
We have them in our river too -love seeing them 😄
