Maybe the title says it all. I had a large (football-sized) FL cooter in my backyard pond, for a year now. I placed him there last summer. Lately, he's vanished. I don't live near any significant bodies of water. He would sun pondside during daylight, but I never saw him stroll around the yard.
I'm wondering: would a raccoon, possum, fox or another large predator go for a large turtle? I have a feeling they're opportunistic, so probably -- and I have all of those creatures in my yard at 1 time or another. Rarely see a dog in the back yard, but ... you never know. My neighbors lately have a cat. Another possibility? Hard for me to imagine.
Thoughts from the community? Thx much ....
