Common Snapping Turtle

What kind of photos does a turtle take?

Shellfies.

Interesting Fact: In their environment, they are at the top of the food chain, causing them to feel less fear or aggression in some cases. When they encounter a species unfamiliar to them such as humans, in rare instances, they will become curious and survey the situation and even more rarely may bump their nose on a leg of the person standing in the water. Although snapping turtles have fierce dispositions,[16] when they are encountered in the water or a swimmer approaches, they will slip quietly away from any disturbance or may seek shelter under mud or grass nearby.[17] Common snapping turtles are very aggressive if caught, and have a strong enough bite to easily amputate human fingers.

    Good points! I worked for a married couple for 20 plus years at their private residence in Michigan. It had a large crick running through the property which was full of Snappers. Rule of thumb is just stay away because they always wanted to bite me!
