      Just passin' through.

      We found this beauty going through our yard a couple of yrs ago....
      One cool thing it would do is....lay on the ground like 1st pic. Then slooooowly, it would raise up on all fours before jumping at you and issuing a mean hissss at the same time
      It really surprised us to find it in our yard because we are easily 3 or 4 miles from any ponds or lakes.

      I wish I'd been able to get a video of it....It reminded me of a hydrolic lift when it raised itself off the ground....or one of those battery operated toys when it jumped and hissed It was so cool

      Thanks....lol...but if you'd seen the way the hubby and I jumped the 1st time it jumped and hissed at us....you might not think us so brave
      If it has come back through we haven't seen it.

      I found a small map turtle about 3'' wandering in the yard
      checked the local kids to see if they lost a pet but no claims
      so it went into the pool/pond with the red ear and the kooter who are much bigger at 8 and 10'' dia
      they do not chase or eat the koi or gf but will get any dead fish
