Abstract

Observations of exotic Red-eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) turtles are rare in New Brunswick (NB), Canada, but we found multiple individuals residing in the recreational area of Rockwood Park, Saint John. We present evidence that suggests that Red-eared Sliders are able to overwinter in at least one water body in Rockwood Park. Seven Red-eared Sliders were removed from water bodies in NB from 2014 to 2016 and one in 2022. Currently, there are no known locations with Red-eared Sliders persisting in NB.

加拿大新不伦瑞克省的外来红耳滑翔机（Trachemys scripta elegans）观测和移除情况

在加拿大新不伦瑞克省（NB），观察到外来红耳滑龟（Trachemys scripta elegans）的情况非常罕见，但我们发现有多只红耳滑龟栖息在圣约翰的洛克伍德公园休闲区。我们提供的证据表明，红耳滑龟至少能够在洛克伍德公园的一个水体中越冬。从 2014 年到 2016 年，我们从新不伦瑞克省的水体中捕获了七只红耳滑蜥，2022 年捕获了一只。目前，新不伦瑞克省没有红耳滑蜥持续存在的已知地点。
