While Erv K. and I were walking past the spillway we came
upon this young Western Spiny Softshell (Apalone spinifera hartwegi).
Females can have a carapace length of 17 inches, while males are only half that
length. To keep from being run over, the turtle was placed at the water's
edge. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 7/19/18)
