Turtles

We have a ton of wildlife roam through our yard; squirrels, chipmunks, deer, wild turkeys, fox, coyote and way too many birds and water fowl to list. Well, our newest guests are snapping turtles. They normally spend all their time in the water, however, it is egg laying time, so they are out and about on dry land. Take a look at this amazing creature.

It's hard to tell, but this girl's shell was over a foot long, alone!

Smile pretty
it was a very sunny day, so please excuse the shadows

Designed to survive. Check out the spikes on her tail
