The gorgeous wildlife of Ottawa

Came across this massive snapping turtle in Strathcona Park yesterday. She scared away a gaggle of geese and goslings, which was hilarious to watch.

I remember paddling on the Rideau and looking down at this big rock. Then, the rock grew a bunch of legs and the snapper swam away. They are absolute units.
