I once saw one jump out of the water. I figured that would slow it down but they move just as quickly on dry land.
This is awesome! As they're almost impossible to catch! :)
If you look at him carefully ,he looks like a little raft with oars!
Pure luck.
Wonderful background!
Yep. They don't stand still for very long.
Finally get to see him the way he is!
