Two very friendly turtles

Got a minute? One turtle climbs the other for a "moment" of celebration. A voyeur is watching in the foreground.

I guess this one was taken in Brazil?

  Thank you for using my own "guidance" weapon on myself :) Seriously, really appreciate you taking the time to go through my older photos for identification. Anyway, based on the date, this one was not taken in Brazil, rather in some dutch zoo, but I don't recall which one. Posted 10 years ago

    You know how important the location is for the identification. Did you go to that zoo twice, because some of the photos are from Jul 7, but the other bird photo is from Jul 2? Maybe they got an Amazon corner or something because the former two species seem to come from Brazil. I am not sure about the latter one though. If it is not from Brazil then it could be a completely different story. It doesn't seem to match exactly anyway. Posted 10 years ago

      I know it's important, but this photo was uploaded before we even had locations in JungleDragon. I am confident this is not in Brazil, as that was in September of 2011. They are definitely 2 different zoos, not the same one twice. I looked into it some more, and I am 99% sure that this one was taken in the Beekse Bergen zoo. Posted 10 years ago
