$The European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis), also called commonly the European pond terrapin and the European pond tortoise, is a species of long-living freshwater turtle in the family Emydidae.[3] The species is endemic to the Western Palearctic.\nRange and habitat:\nE. orbicularis is found in southern, central, and eastern Europe, West Asia and parts of Mediterranean North Africa. In France, there are six remaining populations of significant size; however, they appear to be in decline. This turtle species is the most endangered reptile of the country. In Switzerland, the European pond turtle was extinct at the beginning of the twentieth century but reintroduced in 2010. In the early post-glacial period, the European pond turtle had a much wider distribution, being found as far north as southern Sweden and Great Britain, where a reintroduction has been proposed by the Staffordshire-based Celtic Reptile & Amphibian, a group specialising in the care, research, and rehabilitation of native European and British herpetiles. In 2004, the European pond turtle was found in the former Soviet territories of Estonia, which are currently under Russian jurisdiction. \nE. orbicularis prefers to live in wetlands that are surrounded by an abundance of lush, wooded landscape. They also feed in upland environments. They are usually considered to be only semi-aquatic, as their terrestrial movements can span 1 km. They are, occasionally, found travelling up to 4 km away from a source of water (source Wikipedia). \n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$

Emys orbicularis is only indigenous inland turtle in Slovenia. Its habitat is mainly stagnant or slow-flowing waters, surrounded by vegetation. Its habitat is in Barje swamps near Ljubljana, Slovenia.
