The Snapping Turtle

Walking, walking through the valleys and volcanoes of Costa Rica, Mrs. Señol has found herself face to face with a bad-tempered turtle that almost bit her.

The reaction of the creator of our Zoorprendentes was to take out pen and paper and interview him.

Then, despite its aggressive temperament, the turtle posed proudly for illustrator Adián González.

One fine day as she was meandering through valleys and volcanoes of Costa Rica, Anne Señol bumped into a foul-tempered snapping turtle who almost took her nger off.

Our loveable author’s reaction was to immediately take out pencil and paper (she is never without either) and interview the cantankerous creature.

In spite of its combative nature, the snapper (also known as serpentine turtle) agreed to pose – rather proudly – for illustrator Adián Gonzalez’ sketchbook.
