Nature

A place to discussion nature on Farcaster

I have always found lots of friends on Kauai, like when we were headed to the airport and found this turtle (maybe a slider?) trying to cross the street.

On the mainland, the general rule is to put them across the road in the direction they were headed, but since these turtles don’t belong on Kauai at all, I believe it washed out of someone’s decorative pond during a week of crazy rain and flooding.

There was a trough of water right near the road on a farm, so I put the turtle in there hoping that the owner of the farm might do something better when they found it.

Oh too bad for the little guy, what did you do with it?

Yeah, I assume someone brought them in for a decorative pond (you do see some in the ponds on Oahu), but we had so much rain that week that everything was flooded, and I am guessing he washed out of wherever he was.

Now that is to bad I feel bad for the little guy. That’s how innocently a species can become invasive.

I put it in a water bucket on the farm where we found it. We were headed to the airport, so we didn’t really have time to do anything else. Figured that at least gave it a better chance than wandering in the fields.

Where do you put it if it doesn’t belong? Dinner?

Definitely not something I expected to find crossing the road in Hawaii!
