While out and about on Saturday afternoon I spotted this spiny soft shell turtle on the edge of the highway laying eggs in the soft sand. I had never seen this type of turtle before so I snapped a lot of photos so that I would be able to identify it. Its nose is especially different and so are the eyes with the line continuing through it from its neck. It also seems to have a tear in the one eye. Maybe laying eggs is a particularly difficult task for a turtle.
