“The hulking reptile was about 100 times the size of its closest living relative, the Amazon river turtle, and twice the size of the largest living turtle, the marine leatherback, the researchers estimated.”

At the Japanese Garden section of the park. There is a sign warning about not taking the animals, including the koi (which are deliberately stocked, I’m sure) and the turtles, though it’s possible the turtles may have been simply released here as former pets rather than deliberately stocked.

Florida Softshell Turtle (Wilderness Park)
I don’t know if these turtles are actually wild or stocked. (I assume the fish are stocked, but the ducks are just visiting!) But this looks like a different type of turtle than the ones I saw on a visit a couple of years later.
Identified on iNaturalist as a Florida Softshell, most likely a released pet.
