Hi Sporgon, looks like my Guy just ate your Guy.

You can see my guy is blissfully unaware of the African continent !

a tiny painted box turtle. I came upon him while driving Camp Ravenna's roads looking for Red Tails in flight. noticed the dark spec on a white gravel road, stopped to investigate. it was a day after a big storm in early July 2012. On down the road a big snapper was headed in the same direction....

Turtles aren't a subject I seek out, but I'd like to play - the first two and the last are Suwanee Cooters - Suwannee (river) as in the song, and cooter as in the American slang for a woman's well, you know. Odd name for sure. I haven't been able to identify the other turtle:

That´s a great shot :) Ninja Turtles next!

As in most Images there was a story, I wanted a lower angle shot so climbed out of the vehicle on the far side away from the hippo & Pool, and carefully went to the back of the vehicle to get the Low Down Shot, of course the hippo sensed me, woke in a Flash, jumped up in a huge spray of Water, and flung the poor Turtle into the air and it landed about 15 metres away, high & dry but otherwise un hurt.

So, maybe not Ninja Turtle....more like Astronaut Turtle.
