Such alien looking turtles. You don’t see them too often out of the water – so when I did I of course had
to take a shot!

Klaus: What a great shot, a face a mother could love. I have caught them when fishing when I was young and thought they were strange.

He does look alien – but interesting to look at! I like the angle you captured.

That is the strangest looking turtle I’ve ever seen – you hit it right – it’s alien looking! Great shot though.

Great shot! It does look strange. I remember the first time I saw one. It gave me an eerie feeling. Now looking at it, it looks like a deformation of a regular turtle.

He does look a bit alien. I’m glad his head was poking out so you could get that great photo!

Don’t let my old neighbor see this or she’ll want to know where you found it so she can make turtle soup. Excellent capture, Klaus!

Well, your shot is certainly a very cool one with it’s mouth open! The only one I ever saw and photographed was sitting in our driveway.

Interesting creature. I can’t get the tiniest bit of “cute” out of that! But it does have a certain beauty.
