Hawk turtles feeding at 2.15. Small pieces of fish are fed. Not active as fishes in tasting the food as it swims. Take a piece of fish show ad deliberately, try to bite it through but fail, close their eyes and try to break away the protruding piece with the foot flippers. Very successful in breaking off the meat. Then munch it several times to get it more into the throat when they swallow. A slow process as slow as the jack tortoise of the Galapagos. Now we put a quick endp take a piece for another. Evidently can fight and pursue their prey. Crab, ordinary blue edible crab. As a rule walk sideways dig on tip toe with then chelae held out wide sideways, with the jaws constantly open. The posterior pair of swimming limbs are held above the ground, and often erect on the foot almost to the eyes evidently to keep them clean. When at rest the last pair of walking legs are clean these limbs not only of our their ownpases but also dig into the joints.
