Big Snapper

Jamestown National Park, VA

BIG snapping turtle on the bank of the James River. The shell was over 24" long -- biggest one I've ever seen.

BTW - This photo was taken almost exactly 1 minute before last night's post - Saturday at the Jamestown Park was a good nature/photo day.

Wonderful image of this huge turtle. I did not realize it could have such a long tail...

Wow, what a turtle. That sucker would take a finger clean off...
