Snapping Turtle


Snapping turtles live in ponds, creeks, and rivers. They will eat fish, frogs, worms, and crickets. I've caught several while fishing with worms. They have very sharp claws, and this one cut me with his claws. They have long necks, and if you get too close they will snap at you.

I'll bet they will also eat fingers if they get too close. ha ha

So, if you're fishing -- you're supposed to catch fish. What is it called when you catch a turtle? Turtling?

I'm glad you live in the country where you can experience all of this great nature. Keep on having fun!
