Northern Map Turtle - missing one back leg

At every step she had to belly flop waiting for her one remaining back leg to get
in position for the next step forward. She's crossing the path on her way back to the pond.

Looks determined notwithstanding. Perhaps a large fish had a good meal.

That's too bad, but she's trucking right along.

Excellent sharp image Linda. Nature is beautiful, but cruel at times. I wonder if a Snapper got it leg.

Incredible resilience to proceed on her mission.

Poor thing, the loss of that leg certainly makes her land movement difficult.
