The Bandit

This is a banded water snake that was beginning to shed for its new skin for protection. I took this picture at the Eno River in Durham .

The bloody mess on my mentors hand from the bite of the snake.

Turtle Behaviors Already!!

As you can see the turtles were fighting to sun on the same rock. They made quite the pair together to photograph. This was a very fun day to watch animal behavior in the wild. As you can see the turtles cooperated together and made peace to each other to sun together on this rock.
