Terrapin

Description:

Possibly a Marsh Terrapin judging by the habitat, and the fact that he is eyeing up the young Green-backed Heron for breakfast!

Habitat:

Small lake in Sabie river thickets

It was at Lake Panic Don, but since a few days ago there has been a problem with the map - the pin is still in the correct place if you zoom in, but the place names below the map have shifted by a few hundred miles! Apparently the map software cannot cope with more than 150,000 spottings. It is being looked into.
