1Sarah2: By stroking it gently on its shell. Haha Just Kidding!
Really? Okay that makes sense. Thanks!
hg_williams3: I thought I remembered hearing that about great whites!! Thanks for the info!
agree with 1Sarah2 great white sharks do that too when the bite down
How did you manage to get a snapping turtle to look innocent?? About the eye, I would suppose it to be a defense mechanism.
Thank you!
Excellent photo series!
