The edge of the water: Turtles often inhabit lakes, rivers, ponds, or swamps near waters. Start by choosing these places as a starting point for your search.
Event time: Turtles are usually active during the day, especially in the morning and at dusk. Choosing to look for these times will increase the chances of discovery.
Look closely: Keep an eye out for rocks, trees, grass, or dirt areas around the water, which may be a habitat for turtles.
Look for signs: Look for turtle crawl marks on dirt or turtle crawl routes near water, these are signs of possible turtle activity.
Be patient: Wait quietly for a while at a definite location to allow the turtle to appear. Be quiet and still and don't disturb your surroundings.
Conceal the body: Try to use the surrounding leaves, grass, or rocks to cover yourself to make it less likely to be spotted by turtles and increase the chance of approaching.
Pay attention to protection: During the search process, make sure that the turtle and its living environment are not disturbed or harmed. Life in the wild should be respected and protected.
Capture carefully: If you find a turtle successfully, catch or catch it carefully. Be careful not to disturb or injure the turtle excessively so as not to affect its survival.
Observe and release: If a tortoise is caught, it can be observed briefly and then released in situ or in a suitable habitat close to it to ensure that the tortoise can return safely to its habitat.
Finding turtles in the wild requires patience and care, staying alert and respectful of the habits and habitat of wild animals. Once a tortoise is found, it is important to handle it with care, not to cause harm to it, and to release it back into its natural environment as soon as possible.
