Bazaruto Mozambique April 08 - my favorites

This is the last of my Bazaruto photos, and these are my 3 favorite photos.

Red-spotted Guard crab

Tutrle - does anyone know which turtle this is? Loggerhead maybe?

I love your pics Adriaan. The turtle does indeed look like a Loggerhead. The jaws are huge, what is visible of the carapace appears to be without noticeable ridges and there are two prefrontal scutes between the eyes.

You wouldn't have any other pics of the turtle perhaps that shows the front flippers, top of head or carapace more clearly? Either way, I'm pretty sure its a Loggerhead.
