Yellow bellied slider turtle appears to be practicing yoga as it suns on a log in a South Carolina wetland.
The yellow bellied slider turtle is considered diurnal feeding mainline ghthe morning. It frequently basks on shore or on logs or while floating. Highest densities of sliders occur where algae blooms and aquatic macrophytes are abundant and are of the type that form dense mats at the surface. Dense surface vegetation provides cover from predators and supports high densities of aquatic invertebrates and small vertebrates.
