Tender And Young See: In the wild, pond turtles feed on both plant and animal matter; consume larvae of aquatic insects such as dragonfly, caddisfly; water fleas, fairy shrimp; small snails, tadpoles, small fish, small crayfish; earthworms; carrion; water plants—algae, moss, willow leaves, duckweed, coontail, sometimes pods of wild yellow water lily, and wild berries. Give aquatic insects, earthworms, meal worms, bits of raw fish and raw beef, snails; water plants such as algae, young, tender and young see willow leaves, fresh, tender and young see young vegetable greens. Also offer fresh fruits in season, such as berries, apples, and melons.
The roe browses on the tender and young see shoots of trees and bushes as well as on herbage, and is thus very injurious to young woods. It is never very thoroughly tamed, and when kept in parks is apt to become mischievous, and the male dangerous. The venison is superior to that of the stag, but not equal to that of the fallow deer. The horns are used for handles of carving knives and similar articles.
Bring to the boil, then add the milk. Cover,
and cook gently for about 20 minutes or until the
vegetables are tender and young see. Put through a sieve. Cut the
scallops into small pieces, add to the soup and
return to gentle heat for about 10 minutes or until
the scallops are tender and young see. Stir in the cream and
season to taste.
