Almost Gone

Sharon, Vermont

A garter snake finishes off a large bullfrog(?) tadpole it caught in the pond.
The tadpole seems to have lost the tip of its tail, maybe to a turtle.

Hi Peter, I think this should be the main picture and the other one the alternate. I think the scales on this one are better and more raised, and the tadpole has more detail.
