A new book just came across my desk, “Biology of the Snapping Turtle“. Our own Dr James Spotila and Barbara Bell are co-authors of the chapter “Thermal Ecology and Feeding of the Snapping Turtle, Chelydra serpentina“. The book is being processed and will be available for circulation soon.

Congratulations Dr Spotila and Ms Bell!
