Look what I found in the yard!

Turtles bury themselves in sand or mud. We have a turtle pond close to Kelowna that
is crawling with them. But from what I was told someone has dumped in these unwanted
goldfish that keep breeding. So we will have to see if the turtles will remain. Yet another
good reason it is not good to release these creatures back to the wild

Unfortunatly the lake in my back yard has more non native species than native, I have seen goldfish, koi, shubunkins and a host of other pond type fish, seems when someone shuts down a pond, fish tank or turtle tank they just come dump the livestock in the lake. I do enjoy hearing the odd WTF as a fisherman reels in a koi instead of a trout tho.

Now that would be a surprise, never thought of that.....look dear we are
having Koi for dinner tonite.
