Hello Ahmet,
A critter rarely seen here on TN. A nice close-up of this adult Snapping Turtle as it waits patiently for dinner to pass by. Sharply focused and displaying natural coloration. As a young boy I used to catch many snappers which I then used for soup stock. Pretty neat how well you can see it's pink tongue.
