Did not expect to see this. Among many red-eared sliders, I saw what looks like a snapping turtle. Only the head was visible, the body was obscured by turbid water. The turtle swam a bit and was part of a congregation of sliders expecting to be fed.

Male/male fight: 2 well matched males battle for more than 15 minutes. I did not stay to see the end of their competition, or if either got injured. They circled each other and moved in side by side. One would bite the other's leg, or tail and the bitten lizard would spin to try to dislodge the biter. Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjeVkN5rfgo

I observed this turtle yesterday while looking over the side of the concrete bridge at Lake Merced. I was watching a heron catch a fish and saw this turtle slow come up for air. It stayed at the surface for quite sometime and I was able to grab a few photos (attached). I am fairly certain this is a snapping turtle that was released.
