This is the second time we’ve had this particular type of visitor. Randy has had to do rescues twice now. The first time, I had already gone on my morning jog when Randy took one of these bad boys down to the pond less than a block away. I participated yesterday in the mission and was astonished to see a creature like this still exists. They are not to be trifled with, I can tell you that! Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the alligator snapping turtle!

Wow, encounter these guys here too, have a story to tell you sometime about a big snapper……if you stay on the back side of them, your OK. Randy is brave picking up, but can’t bite when you have it’s shell. Aren’t they the most prehistoric things besides alligators….. Great pictures Kathy….
