The 'Monster' of turtle pond: Snapping Turtle watching me.

A monster indeed. I hope you kept your fingers far away.

I sure did. It was a great experience to be able to watch him, as he or she watched me.

elle ne semble pas trop sympa

The turtles are very shy and will go underwater when approached.

Not looking so friendly !!!!

Snapping turtles have a fierce appearance, but are completely harmless, but it is best not to approach them when out of water. Here is what Wikipedia says: "In water, they are likely to flee and hide themselves underwater in sediment."
