Slightly Worse For Wear

I couldn't quite believe the amount of damage this turtle has suffered to its shell. Big gouges and cracks. It seems to be ok and shortly after this shot it slipped away into the green depths.

I suppose it's possible the damage was caused at a young age and it grew like that. Potentially a scrap with a bigger animal or bird even.

I only noticed when editing, there is the head of a larger turtle, possibly a snapper, poking up by the foreground log.
