"It takes a village", submitted by Hennie C, features a baby red-eared slider being watched by several other adult turtles. So cute! #Caltech #TurtleTuesday

We are excited to showcase two turtles for #TurtleTuesday! Captured by a #Caltech staff member, this image show just how far red-eared sliders can stretch their necks out from their shells.

During bright, sunny days the sides of the #Caltech Turtle Pond can be crowded! Titled "The Turtle March" - submitted by Margaret Carlos. #TurtleTuesday

It's another #TurtleTuesday! This scenic image overlooks one of the four turtle ponds on campus. A few red-eared sliders can be seen basking in the sun in the middle. Submitted anonymously to our May 2022 Photo Contest. #Caltech

Happy #TurtleTuesday! Last May, Shang-Lin Chen captured these turtles basking in the sun. You can see the edge of the yellow plastron (bottom portion of the shell) on one of the turtles.

This photo is definitely "Squad Goals" as Hannah Dion-Kirschner pointed out when she submitted this image to our 2022 Photo Contest. Occasionally turtles do climb on eachother, searching for a good spot to warm up in the sun. Hannah Dion-Kirschner #TurtleTuesday #Caltech

These two turtles have climbed up on some smaller rocks in the #Caltech turtle pond to catch some sun. Precariously balanced, the turtles will stretch out their legs to try to maximize their sun exposure! Image submitted by Huiting Huang. #TurtleTuesday

Another turtle photo for #TurtleTuesday! The turtles often have their back legs stretched out backwards, as seen in the image, to absorb as much sun as possible. Submitted by "TheRealFortniteGamer".

Walking by the turtle pond 🐢 at UT Austin brings back memories of my undergrad and grad school days (Botany pond The University of Chicago and Turtle Pond Caltech Caltech Turtle Club). Do most campuses have turtle ponds? #turtles #AcademicChatter
