The image displays a Red-eared slider turtle (Trachemys scripta elegans) held in the open palm of an adult's hand. The scene is set outdoors in Ketowan, Indonesia. The turtle, approximately 10-15 cm in length, features a carapaced patterned with shades of olive green, brown, and off-white scutes. Its head is partially extended from the shell, clearly showing bright red patches behind each eye and distinctive green and yellow stripes along its head and neck. The turtle's front limbs are visible, partially extended, with discernible claws. The hand, appearing to be a right hand with medium-brown skin, supports the turtle from beneath. The background is blurred, showing a mix of vibrant green foliage on the left and upper sections, contrasting with darker purple and reddish-brown broad-leaved plants on the right, suggesting a garden or natural setting under natural light.
