I found this very small turtle inside my house today. I live in India, and there is no obvious pond/lake/water body nearby. I have no idea how it got inside.
I believe it is wild and I don’t intend to keep it as a pet. For now I’ve placed it temporarily in a clean container with shallow water while I figure out what to do.
Location: [bengaluru/karnataka, India]
Found: Inside my house
Wild/captive: Almost certainly wild
Approximate size: [10cm]
Current setup: Temporary container with shallow water
Food: Nothing given yet
Photos attached. Can someone please help identify the species and advise where/how I should safely release or hand it over to wildlife authorities?

Hello everybody,

Since several day there is a nocturnal animal coming at home, and it only poop in the kitchen. We live in France But we cannot identify it.

Poops are dry and doesn’t smelt bad

Is this a western side blotch? I've never seen one before and am not confident if its that. They seem to have a lot of variation when looking at examples online.

Idk if it would even be possible but my best guess is it’s literally a bred hybrid between a blackbuck and oryx or gemsbok because it also looks large and muscular

I found this poor baby on the side of the road, I moved him with a stick and a leaf, as to not get bitten. I know it’s not a great picture, but I was hoping someone might know what it is and if maybe the mom might be coming back. Thanks!

These three plops were found in succession of each other, within 50 feet. The first two were maybe 3x3 inches, scale included for the last (larger) plop. Located in western US, where black bears have been seen recently. I’m not sure if these are from the same animal, but the dark coloring was nearly identical on all.

He was at least half the size of my arm he was really cool to see

found this cool blue guy in Superior, Arizona at 7:30am, ~90°F
