There were five kids using nets in South Fletcher's Creek. They caught this baby snapping turtle (about 4 inches in length). They brought up to the bridge and allowed me to take a few pictures. The kids then put the turtle back in the creek. Ravinswood Ravine. Brampton Ontario Canada.

That's where I first saw the turtle. I turned back and helped it to the side. A small to mid-sized beauty, I waited ten minutes for it to peek out and finally gave up and went on my way. A different type of turtle than I'm used to seeing.

I noticed this snapping turtle as I was driving into my neighborhood. It looked like she was trying to find a place to lay her eggs, but when I came back later, I didn't see any.

She was on the edge of a field, so she was probably about to (or just did) lay eggs.
