The red-eared turtle leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle, and is extremely curious.
Present in significant numbers in parts of the United States, including southern Virginia, northern Florida and Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, red-eared turtles can also be found in Mexico, all of Central America, and northwestern parts of South America.
In this video, we see a male red-eared turtle swimming in front of another and tickling its cheeks and neck with its long claws.
