road adjacent to osu airport.... marshy wetland area. think he was just sunning himself. almost as big as a dinner plate.
It's a girl! Doing 1 of 4 things while sunning herself: Laying eggs Resting after laying eggs Going back to water after laying eggs Finding spot to lay eggs
Good spoting and watch out for turtles crossing the street. If you see one in the road and are very careful, move it the other side of the road in the direction it's facing.
Big ol snapper, can grab it by the tail and hold it far away from you.
(Not recommended) but I've done it before and have all 10 fingers. It will hiss and snap at you!
We used to fish for carp as kids and catch monster snappers. We had one 'scarface' we'd catch often. Missing one eye and a gash along its head. Would catch them. Bring them up to the bridge we were fishing off, harass it for a while, throw it back. It would come right back to eat our bait again! Talking easy 24" diameter.
Rabbit babies all over my yard, they have been nesting for years… I do not disturb their lil home when I do yard work… had a stressful work morning, seeing them in the rain mist made things better. Love animals
Came across this moma and her very young crew this morning out for a walk

was unable to get a picture as it was largely hiding on the other side of the tree,, but got to briefly catch sight of a pilated woodpecker on sunday up in parma at the retreat center.

I love turtles and tortoises! Seems to me I read somewhere that only turtles have that zigzag back end of their shell and not tortoises. Any idea if that's true?

I don’t know but this one has come 4 years in a row to lay eggs. 4 years ago she somehow got past my aluminum fence and got stuck and had to keep my dogs inside for a couple days to figure a way to take care of her. We brought her across the street to a nature preserve and after I took this photo she found her way over….although I had to stop traffic to make sure she got there.

Close call. They will eat cat food if you leave it outside. We had outside cats as kids and all sorts of critters came on by. Pretty sure someone in my house got sprayed.

Oh yeah! Another beauty!

Laying eggs
Resting after laying eggs
Going back to water after laying eggs
Finding spot to lay eggs
