@oceaneve.usa: A direct encounter with prehistory in the heart of Costa Rica. 🐊🐢 This is the impressive Snapping Turtle (Chelydra acutirostris), a true living fossil that inhabits the mystical waters of the northern Caribbean. Seeing its spiked shell and powerful gaze is a reminder that Costa Rica’s wilderness still guards ancient secrets. A wild reminder of why we must protect every corner of our biodiversity @lagotortugabijagua #turtle #tortugas #costarica🇨🇷 #conservation #dinosaur
