Camera trap timelapse photo of a large snapper turtle crossing over a beaver dam in fall foliage

OTD in '22: ~latest in the year that we've detected a large snapper (by timelapse). We've seen some smaller turtles later in Oct, but no big dinos.

A huge snapping turtle sits with its upper body on a log in a marsh, and its lower body in the water. Its shell is covered in algae, and one of its claws is firmly planted into the log. It is staring directly at the camera.

I was extremely excited to meet my first-ever snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) while I was in Winnipeg over the weekend! What a beast.
