Finds from a great day of “turtling!” River cooters, Barbour’s Map Turtles, and three alligator snapping turtles. We originally thought that we had only encountered 2 alligator snapping turtles, but upon reviewing footage I realized there was two in one particular hole where we thought there was only one. It went unnoticed in the moment as the area quickly got silted up, and the hole that they were in was pretty dark. Alligator snapping turtles will sometimes fight with each other over mates, and we think that the 2 (what seemed to be male) alligator snapping turtles could have been fighting over the smaller turtle, which could have been a female. #reptile #turtle #cooterturtle #mapturtle #alligatorsnappingturtle #snorkeling #explore #nature #wildlife #iliketurtles #fyp
