Florida Softshell Turtle - Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida - 4K 影片檔

This clip features a Florida Softshell Turtle swimming in the Guana River in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The turtle has algae on its shell. This is a common, often natural occurrence, especially in aquatic species, serving as camouflage. While light algae is harmless, excessive growth can indicate poor health (causing "floaters"), hinder basking, or hide shell infections. It can be gently removed with a soft toothbrush.
