Wildlife, living next to nature

She's some sort of softshell turtle. Maybe Midland Smooth...but none of the cursory research I've done has definitively said they should even be found in my county. She was attempting to lay eggs when I came upon her, and that was a bad spot where cars park. Maybe the rain we'd had had made the river too high for her to find any good spots nearer to the river.

That's a cool looking turtle. We don't have any like that around here, as far as I know.

The soft shell turtles can be pretty fast. It's the other ones that are slow.

That is how fast she was the first time I saw her. Running down the grass towards the water. I was like 'WHAT'?
