  1. This fellow used to share a pond with two beavers. Said beavers lived long lives but are no longer with us. I haven't been back recently to see who is keeping him company now.

  5. Another creature I'm very fond of for today's #Weretober, the alligator snapping turtle.

    They'll eat almost anything - but it turns out they're especially fond of, well... turtles.

  6. In a Native American tale, a group of women pondered how to dispose of Snapping Turtle after trapping him. Because their captive acted most afraid when the option of drowning him was brought up, the women threw him into a lake, allowing the turtle trickster to swim to freedom. #MythologyMonday

  7. Turtle hatchlings emerge from their nests this time of year. They don't have an easy trip to the water. They may have to cross roads or parking lots and evade predators on the way. And sometimes they run into a lawn mower, like this poor dude. He lost two feet and half of another, and the side of his shell, but he's been hanging on for five days. And he tried to bite me, which is a good sign. (I survived the attack.)
