This small snapping turtle was trundling across the trail at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden, heading for the Amphibian Pond. This was a little one, the carapace perhaps 6 or 7 inches, but they can grow to a good size, though it takes them a long, long time to do so. As for how long these rather prehistoric creatures live, nobody really knows, but hundreds of years has been put forth as a possibility. They are a species of special concern in Ontario.
