How Red-Eared Invaders are Hurting California's Native Turtles
Red-eared sliders are the most commonly traded pet turtles in the world but are often released into the wild by disgruntled owners when they get too big to handle. Thanks to illegal dumping, the sliders, which are native to the Central United States and Northeastern Mexico, can now be found all over the world.
