Two Iberian pond turtles are seen at the Animal Recovery Center El Saler in Valencia, Spain, 27 November 2024. More than 120 Iberian pond turtles have been rescued following the floods in Valencia after they were carried away by the current from their original habitat, appearing in towns like Paiporta and Catarroja where, almost a month later, neighbors continue finding them buried in the mud. Floods triggered by the DANA (high-altitude isolated depression) weather phenomenon hit the east of the country on 29 October 2024, devastating Valencia and neighboring provinces and leaving at least 229 people dead.
