the turtles in the pond at Deer Ridge Park? Did people dump them and they grew over time? Or did the park service put them there? Just curious as they are super friendly when you walk over the bridge. 4951

Turtles can walk, and do. If a certain pond/stream/creek gets too many, and they have too much competition for food, some will just up and move.Also sometimes in the spring during egg laying season, they will travel a good distance, and sometimes they relocate to a different body of water (like my pool as one example Emoticon ) 4951

There seems to be a lot of turtles around this year.  Some of them may have gotten "washed" here with the flooding.  I think it is great except when the mean "little ****" are on the Greenbelt's throwing rocks and things at them.  Turtles are good, they eat bugs and stuff. 4951

@Andreweggplant: I wonder why some kids are such little jerks!

@TEXASGIRLMAMMA: MMM.... Some of the parents who raise them these days?
 
I threatened one little **** on the GB by me to take him home to his parents. I even picked up his bike and started walking with it....

Thanks! I was walking over the bridge at the park with my son and was amazed how they come right over. I thought maybe they had park service or people feeding them. They definitely aren't shy. 4951

The turtles come to you due to years of "training" by people throwing bread at their little turtle faces to feed them. They just want food. 4951

@TEXASGIRLMAMMA: Meet their parents.  Nine out of ten times that will answer your question...
