This big guy was crossing the road so we stopped for a photo!! He looked so old with moss growing all over his shell & his paw/foot was all mangled. At first we thought he might be a snapping turtle but I think he's a painted turtle. Hope you all have a great weekend, stay safe!!

This is a small turtle. You can kind of gauge his size by comparing him to the lily pads. One thing to take note of is the size of those front claws.

The painted turtle is the only turtle native to western Montana, though it is found throughout the state and the northwestern US and adjoining regions of Canada, the Great Plains, the Midwest, and northeastern US. They do well year-round, as long as their watery habitat does not freeze solid to the ground. They are an abundant and not threatened species.
The most brightly "painted" parts, besides the yellow stripes on their heads and necks, are on the plaston (bottom plate of the shell) but this photo does provide little glimpses of what lies beneath.
The turtles were sunning themselves in the shallows of Spring Creek beneath the footbridge. I had never seen them there before, and was delighted to have an interesting - and for me, rare - subject that moved "conveniently" slowly to photograph.
