Common snapping turtle (chelydra serpentina)
35.2226, -97.4395
Field Notes
Description:
About 9 inches wide. Dark shell and much longer thicker tail then other aquatic turtles in this region.
Habitat:
Urban lake.
Notes:
This turtle was covered in mud and moving very slowly. I think it had emerged from winter hiding on exceptionally warm day in search of a snack.
