This is the adorable moment an elderly lady crouched down by a lake - to clean wild terrapins by scrubbing their backs at the Singapore Botanic Gardens on July 27. <br /><br />The elderly woman took her own brush before luring over the red-eared sliders with a small tube of food.<br /><br />Footage shows the kind-hearted woman giving the terrapins a back scrub to remove the thick algae off their shells.<br /><br />Onlooker Nur Ariffin said: ''I went to the Botanical Gardens and saw this delightful sight, Aunty was happily scrubbing thick green algae off the backs of them cute terrapins. <br /><br />''The terrapins happily came towards her to get their backs cleaned and once it was done they cutely walked off. It was such a heartwarming sight. Everyone needs a good back scrub once in a while, right!''
