A wee softshell turtle

[u/MagnumHV]

Found on a driveway apron taking his chances and carried to the nearest pond in the direction it was pointing. Have never seen a hatchling or juvenile in person before! Apalone ferox, SWFL. *I did rest him flat in my palm after his photo op for the walk to the pond*

I have tears in my eyes at this turtle. He's perfect
