RE: The baby Snapper Turtles!

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Little turtles are so cute. Almost unbelievable that when they are grown up they can cut your finger with one bite.

I don't even ask how big this dragon fly might be. Probably like our crows or so 😉

No idea what the thing in the last photo could be.

These are cool numbers, what a coincidence - happy anniversary my friend 😊

Cheers and !BEER

Thank you for the kind anniversary wish Hannes,

I so wanted to hold that smallest one in my hand, but by the time I got into the water, he would have disappeared. He was about 5 centimeters in size.

Of course you know me by now and you also know that I will sooner or later get that animal in the last photo. Time will tell.

Cheers and thanks!

No, that dragonfly is not as big as a crow 🤣
He is about 80 or 90 centimeters long.
But they are beautiful indeed and I also have a photo of the female laying her eggs somewhere in my files.

You're welcome Zac :)
Of course, I know you will keep on looking for this "thing" :)

80 or 90 centimeters? Honestly? That would be more than 30-35 inch - I think you meant millimeters ;)

Nope, I know the difference between millimeters and centimeters Hannes.
This is a big boy and he should have a tail. Could be anything in size, but he looks to me like some kind of leguan or a rock monitor!
I took the photo at a distance and if it is one he will leave the water at some time.
Easy to spot where he leaves the water, as their tails leave a clear drag mark in the mud.
If it is one, it will be my happiest day, as we also had them up north on the farm.

Cheers and thanks!

I still can't believe it, although I know you know the difference, but 90 centimeters are almost 3 feet 🙄 If this guy flies towards me I run 🏃

Hahaha, I just had to answer this one today Hannes,

If you don't believe 90 centimeters, how does 2 meters sound?

"The leguaan is South Africa’s biggest lizard, and may grow to 2 metres in length. It loves the waterside and is a good swimmer and diver, using sideways movements of its flexible tail. Several live in the Cavern grounds and can be seen in the small dams".

Take note "can be seen in small dams"

Cheers and thanks!

I have seen even bigger turtles as well as we have Laguans / iguanas in Zoos :)

Ah! So clarity has emerged 🤣

Yeah, I was talking about the leguan and you were talking about the turtle.
Soon I will be talking about a big carrot and you will think that it's impossible for the tomato in the same post to get that big 🤣🤣🤣

They say that age does that that to us my friend!

Cheers and thanks!
