Yellow children are released in Turtle Brazilian River

Some 4,900 yellow-colored spotted river turtles, also known as Trecas, have been released in the Igapo-Oko River in Brazil.

Threatened species live in river valleys in northern South America, and the Federal University of Amazonus has been running projects aimed at increasing the number of turtles since a decade.

At that time, more than 70,000 turtles are independent of living in the wild.
