One of Gerard's friends just shared this amazing video footage with us. This Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) is an extraordinary specimen, due to its red eyes. This has been described as a Paradox Albino, due to its being a carrier of the recessive albino genetics, but only outwardly showing the characteristic red eyes of an albino.
