Yes, correct call with species. Ones I have seen are quick to avoid predation, usually at a stream bank and the dive underwatter, then they out wait you, even for a photo.

They’re shy lol, Yeah that makes sense! I have a river right behind my house where I let this one go, somehow got into a bin of legos.
