A snapping turtle

 Saw it swimming in the ditch while walking today. Went under for a while with just its nose sticking out to breath. Then submerged completely and stayed under for at least three minutes. I left so it could surface and keep going. I get about 6-7,000 steps daily in 1-2 hours now because huge portions are under water.

These solitary reptiles spend much of their time in the water—even capable of holding their breath for 40 to 50 minutes.

It's in about 6 inches of water
