Snapping Turtle with Painted Turtles!

Yesterday at Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery while birding, we came across a quiet area of one of the ponds. The wind was crazy but this spot was not quite as windy. I spotted a very large snapping turtle emerge from the water and watched at several smaller painted turtles started to climb on the big guy to catch some sun! I recorded some of it because it was pretty amazing to me! (My camera skills aren't that great with the longer lens and lots of wind lol). #turtle #snappingturtle #birding #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #spring #kalamazoo #nikoncoolpixp1000 #nikon

I always thought the Snapper would eat anything, but clearly he was not bothered by their proximity. Wonderful to see !

How do you expect it to eat a turtle that big?
