Wild Life in Our Garden - Soft Shell

It is getting hot with us now. Some areas of the lawn are drying out. We took a walk around the garden to check up on things and even though it was so hot, Poppy insisted on coming along.

We were walking pass the green bamboo when Poppy started barking. She was on her alert mode, telling us something’s up.
Hubby went to her to take a look. With Daddy by her side, Poppy was brave enough to have a close-up inspection.

We didn’t know what it was at first. Our neighbour told us it is a Florida Soft-Shell Turtle.

He is not very handsome, is he?
