Spring has certainly sprung in Ontario! - Turtles, frogs, etc. *pics*

[Removed_2815]

Here are some of the highlights from today's activities.

Let's start off easy with a Leopard frog (Rana pipiens):


Here's a muddy, stinky, and definitely angry Snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina):


Here I am with a female Spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata):


Here's an interesting symbiotic relationship; a yearling Snapper hitching a ride on a Spotted turtle:


A very satisfying find - a yearling Spotted turtle (the population is reproducing):


This has to be one of the most gorgeous Spotted turtles ever:



There were plenty of amphibian egg-masses to be seen as well:



Some Wood frog (Rana sylvatica) eggs:


And some Wood frog photos:




I hope you all enjoyed the weather today too!
Cheers,
