Emys orbicularis
The olive, brown or black European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) is one of the few freshwater species that live in Europe. Although its appearance varies over its large range, this turtle is usually easily identifiable by the bright yellow or gold speckling on the dark carapace and skin of many juveniles and adults.
Acheron river, about 1 km from estuaries.
