Softshell Turtle on the Run!
If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I may not have believed it. Had I not recorded it, you may not have believed it.
While paddling on the Mississippi River today I paused at a sandbar to stretch. As I roamed the vegetation I came across this softshell turtle that was moving from where it had dropped eggs back to the river.
As I followed it, the turtle took off in a mad dash to reach the water. Had the turtle been chasing me, I am not sure I could have out run it.
Who knew softshell turtles could move so fast! Not me!!
