Apalone ferox
This is an adult Florida softshell turtle, Apalone ferox, hanging out on a dirt-and-pebble road in Big Cypress, South Florida. It was raining at the time -- and there's nothing like a little rain to bring the reptiles out in late spring and early summer! [jansonjones http://dusttracks.com]

Sorry for the delay, y'all. July was wicked busy! @Hunter: if you ever stumble into Florida, let me know. Florida softshells are pretty abundant in places! Hard for me to *not* see them!
Janson, what a cool shot! Great spotting!
Hunter, I've found the Softshells at Magnolia Springs State Park in near Millen. What strange creatures!
Wow! That's awesome! I've never been lucky enough to find a softshell.
Very well capture,
Love it!
