Description
This is a pair of Cooter turtles, in the lake, in our backyard. They grow about 16 inches (40 cm) long. The young are carnivorous while the adults are vegetarians. My field guide states that they are not normally found this far south in Florida. My field guide was printed in 1961. They lay between 12 and 29 eggs. They do come out on the banks of the lake to warm up in the sun. It was 82 degrees today. They are not cute but try zoom anyway. They do have nasty claws if you notice lower left.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Are these the two that like DSL instead of cable internet? Great capture Dana Merry Christmas to you and Jo!
To be absolutely frank, Dana, I thought this was a high altitude foto of some isolated islands or islets in an unnamed ocean. Otherwise, nice clarity, contrast and blue color in this backyard capture.
You just never know who is going to come to your backyard when you live in Florida:) Well done Dana!
wow very pretty turtle love that look, very nice catch :)
Well seen Dana and yeah those claws look pretty nasty!

A great shot Dana but I don't particularly like these things!! You and your family have a really good time this Christmas.

Yeah, I don't think I'd like to bump into one while swimming, of course after seeing other things down there I'd limit my swimming to a bathtub, LOL!
