Artist's Comments

Snapping turtle, a 10-kg male. A really intimidating beast, I have lots of respect for this snapping beak and the lightning-fast neck attack.

it is dangerous... first, it pissed some 2 liters of liquid (I was told it's just water, but who really knows) just 30 cm away from my camera. And then it almost amputated fingers of my assistant.

Turtles sometimes hold water in their anus/rectum, because they can sometimes absorb oxygen through the walls of the bowel, so yes, it was just water.

Plus, reptiles pass urea, not urine.

This is quite a beast. I really like the detail you've captured here, such as the eye and the skin. A beautiful, and quite dangerous animal.
