As we were clearing away an area of the fence line, we came upon this big guy. He wasn't too happy we disturbed him as he was on his way to the pond. We pulled the grass away from him and he reared his mouth open wide and stretched out his rough neck. He was a thick, sturdy alligator snapping turtle. His tail looked like an alligator with large bumps and ridges.
So we watched him a little while and then left him alone. We must have found him while he was taking a little rest in the cool of the grass.
We kindof figured that he knew where he was going and he didn't need any help to get there. Later that afternoon we came back and he was gone. It's pretty safe to say, we won't be going swimming in the pond this summer.
