Slider turtles have been brought into Australia and let loose in our dams and waterways wrecking our fragile ecosystem. The Qld.Government, Moreton Bay Regional Council and many dedicated people are trying hard to catch them all by using cathedral nets, draining dams and trapping. Angus is on the front line in locating the turtles and nests to help catch these imported pests. Angus and handler will search around water bodies over a lot of distractions ranging from native wildlife to dogs. Angus will not indicate on the many native turtles or eggs and only do an active indication on the slider turtles and eggs. Angus has had several slider turtle egg finds and is an important part in the irradiation of these pests.
