They're turtle-y different. 😉 They hibernate, burying themselves under mud or at the bottom of the pond. There have been regular sightings in there (and in Dulwich Park) for years and terrapins can live for 15-20 years in the wild, 30+ years in captivity. They are however an invasive species - whether or not the RSPCA or a local wildlife charity would come out to try and trap / remove them is another matter. -
Hmm they seem to disappear in the winter - and there are some who say that terrapins are a kind of turtle. -

Alice, I was kind of aware of the terrapins but now wondering if they are actually turtles? I'm surprised if terrapins that they would survive the winter? -
