Today I got over 5000 images and media files loaded into WordPress. Most of the work was done by several utilities that ran unattended. WordPress made its usual mess of things, but it is all cleaned up now.
Chelydra serpentina
Size: to 15" (body)
Habitat: hides on the bottom in any type of water
Notes: Generally docile and easily approached in the water, but should be treated with respect for its powerful bite. This turtle can easily amputate a finger or toe and becomes pugnacious when landed. If you have the patience, try to see how long this turtle can go between breaths. A lot longer than you or me, that's for sure.
