Description

I watched these two turtles slowly approaching this Indian Gharial for several minutes - they started in the pond, spent a few minutes partly in the water and partly on the rocks. Then completely unto the rocks and finally into this situation. Maybe it's just me but the whole thing struck me as a couple of pranksters sneaking up on a victim. Enjoy

You have me on the edge of my seat...what happened next? :-))) This is a neat job of observing on your part. The turtles have probably done this countless times before. Their armor is thick and I am sure not the least bit tasty.

What an amazing creature with that sort of cut off snout. I've never seen one of these. I know turtles are afraid of nothing. I'm always reminded of a meat pie crust on legs.
