Old Snapping Turtle Says Hi

I am a student at Texas State University. I work with a conservation crew in the San Marcos River. I scuba dive for a living, and for my passion. My dream job is to be a wildlife photographer for National Geographic. I filmed this during work at Purgatory Creek, off of San Marcos River. He is an elderly Common Snapping Turtle. You can tell he is aged by all of the algae on his shell, which is not harmful to his health, and cataracts in his eyes. He is super friendly, and curious, which is an odd trait for a snapping turtle to have as they are usually very shy and skittish. I did not touch, harass or feed this turtle for this video. He came to me on his own free will. I am the original creator of this video. He is still alive and living his best life. Credit: NICHOLAS BREAUX via ViralHog
