Snapping Turtle at Greenfield Park in Milwaukee Wisconsin on June 8, 2018

While strolling through Greenfield Park today I had the opportunity to watch from a distance a Snapping Turtle finishing up laying eggs, then a walk to pond nearby. I gave it plenty of space letting it do it’s thing staying 15- 20 feet away not to disturb it. Images were taken on June 8, 2018.

Burying the last of the eggs…

The walk to the pond…

The tail…

Those claws…
