Schlagwort: Turtles

Natürlich sagt sie nicht wirklich “Hi”, aber freundlich gucken kann sie trotzdem irgendwie.

I filmed this during work at Purgatory Creek (off of San Marcos River). He is an elderly Common Snapping Turtle. You can tell he is aged by all of the algae on his shell (not harmful to his health), and the cataracts in his eyes. He is super friendly, and curious, which is an odd trait for a snapping turtle to have, they are usually very shy and skittish. I did not touch, harass or feed this turtle for this video. He came to me on his own free will.

Ein bewegtes Symbolbild für das Leben.

I shot this on Sunday, April 24, 2016, at Mason Neck State Park in Lorton, VA. The park has a pond, appropriately called “Turtle Pond.” I noticed one turtle attempting to climb onto a log where four other turtles were already sunning themselves. This log was less stable than other logs in the pond, so it was amusing to see what happened next.
