DIDN'T TAKE LONG

Once the turtles were finished laying eggs it did't take long for these guys to show up.

With his keen sense of smell he was soon digging into the nest of eggs.

If you click to enlarge this photo you will see an eggs just under his nose.

Soon we had broken eggs strewn about while he continued to dig for more. Guess whenever he finds food he doesn't worry about calories; just consumes all he can find.

Whenever we stepped out he would run and hide but kept an eye on us only to return once the coast was clear.

Those big old turtles we saw laying eggs were the lucky ones when so few eggs even get a chance to hatch. It's all part of the food chain as we've seen turtles catch baby ducks swimming on our pond.
