A small turtle is depicted held in a human hand, against an outdoor, natural background

A small turtle is depicted held in a human hand, against an outdoor, natural background. The specific location within the city of Ketowan, Indonesia, is not visually discernible from the image. The primary subject is a Red-eared Slider turtle (*Trachemys scripta elegans*), approximately 10-15 cm in carapace length, positioned in the open palm of a human left hand. The turtle's carapace exhibits a varied coloration of cream, light brown, and pale olive-green patterns on its scutes, suggesting a faded or partially leucistic appearance. The plastron, visible on the underside, is yellowish. The turtle's head is grey-green with fine dark linear stripes, and a prominent, distinct orange-red patch is present directly behind each eye. One front limb, showing visible claws, is partially extended and tucked near its head. The hand, displaying light to medium brown skin, securely cradles the turtle from below, with its fingers curved around the edges of the turtle's carapace. The background is out of focus, indicating an outdoor setting under natural daylight. To the left and upper portion of the frame, dense dark green foliage suggests bushes or trees. The ground to the right and lower center is reddish-brown earth, sparsely covered with small green vegetation.
