I nearly walked into what I thought was a rock until I back stepped. I guessed with Bukit Kiara Park now open, there were less people fit-walking in the taman, this Box Turtle decided to bravely take its sweet time crossing the walkway.
The Malayan box turtle (Cuora amboinensis), a subspecies of the Southeast Asian box turtle is considered endangered. It is the commonest freshwater turtle.
I had thought of walking past it until it started to move so I didn't want to disrupt its momentum, waited for it to cross the path.
But it was truly sloooow, so I quickly side-walked past it to capture its journey from its front.
Looked like it was getting from the pond to the river, and because it was still alert to my presence, it stalled by the fence, so I decided to leave it in peace.
