Being in Florida always helps with the animal sightings.
This was a very different type of turtle that I saw in a local pound. I usually see snappers, but this one was flatter, and had a pointy snoot. Does anyone know what type of turtle this is?
And of course - these enormous alligators. They were sitting on a rivier bank soaking up the sun. That's one thing I love about Florida in the winter - it's cool so the reptiles are outside warming up their blood. . You can't really tell from the picture but each one must have been around 15 - 20 feet long. And each one was FAT! Happy Alligators....and Happy Animal Wednesday.

The closest thing to this turtle in Indiana would be a Musk Turtle. Take a look at that and see if it fits the description of your pictured turtle. Those gators are brutes. Happy AW.
I just adore your Florida AW Posts!
The Turtle looks a bit like the *Snout-Nosed* ones I see from time-to-time... but their shells kook a little smoother...is his nose elongated?
Lisa's *Gator Comment* cracked me up!
They ARE HUGE - and FAT! I love them though....particularly when they are full and sunbathing...not on the prowl for a meal!
HAW!!!!

Wow, this is impressive ... all of them! Somethings we do not see here near where I live. Not sure I am sorry either ... about the alligators. I'd be okay with the turtles! But I've never seen them that large before ever! Oh maybe once.
Mim, No idea what kind the turtle is, but I love turtles and gaters, though I find them very scary and would not like to meet one in a dark alley :-). xoxo
