Raccoon Slays Turtle

Tasty turtle bits.


Check out that decapitated head!

Stick your whole leg in the shell to get the best parts.

Looks like Wiley Raccoon is caught in the shell.

Body laid to rest on the dead Palmetto frond.

Hello there, I research turtles and I am currently working with one of our undergraduates in putting together a scientific poster about turtle escape behavior and would like to add some pictures of turtle predation as examples. This is for an undergraduate research symposium and the poster would be only used for education purposes. Would you grant us permission to use one of these pictures? We will give appropriate credit to the photographer. Thank you very much for your consideration.
