We just purchased a house that has a small pond (somewhere between 1/3rd and 1/2 an acre). My kids love swimming in it. They love counting the frogs, and fish. One day we counted well over one hundred sunfish. Then yesterday my seven year old found two very large snapping turtles mating on the surface. Their heads are larger than my fist. Their shells are well over a foot in diameter. They are very impressive animals, and must faster than I would have imagined "turtles" to be.
Some friends are convinced that the turtles will eat all of the fish. Others are convinced that the kids are in danger. Can others please share their experiences with me? Thanks.
