Hanging on the Log

The cormorant says to the painted turtle, "I wouldn't go over there, he already snapped at me."



The cormorant is between 28" - 35" high, and I'd estimate the snapping turtle was about the same in length. Not a turtle I'd want to mess around with. Enlarge the picture and check out those massive claws. At first, I didn't even see the little painted turtle.



You can see in the picture below, everyone was giving it a wide berth.
