Red-eared slider turtle
"A native of the Mississippi Valley area of the United States, the turtle is now a well-established problem in many parts of the world. It has been nominated among 100 of the ‘World's Worst’ invaders by the World Conservation Union, and is considered a major threat to biodiversity.
The turtle is very aggressive, and will out-compete native species for food and space in our waterways and lake systems. Large specimens can inflict a painful bite.
The turtle has few natural predators in Australia."
They do not sound very nice. The picture in this article looks nothing like the other one in the article before!! This is a Queensland article.
