Wildlife officials working to trap abandoned turtles
Description
Every year, it is estimated that hundreds of unwanted pet turtles are released into this Papago Park pond and other community lakes by their owners each year. The first nonnative species turtle trapping was held at the Phoenix Zoo in 1999. Since then, over 850 individual turtles, representing 17 species, have been captured and nearly 550 have been removed.
