Notes ⁴

A popular pet that is often released into the wild or landscaped lakes. There are some in the Sunnyvale Arboretum pond, and probably lots of other parks in the area as well. Black overall, with some yellow detailing and red ear patches (and often quite muddy, obscuring the brighter colors).
