Baby Snapping Turtle

 Our neighbor, Herb, found this little guys by his shed.  He is smaller than my hand.  We are just a few doors down from a pond.  Just beyond that is the river.  So, we have seen snapping turtles a few times before, once in a yard, once crossing the street in front of our house, once walking along the sidewalk a block away.  But, they were all huge--this is the first baby one we have seen.  The big ones are quite fast actually.  I don't like these critters--but it is neat for the kids to see them!
