Wow! "Since they have no natural enemies, snapping turtles have an annual adult mortality rate of only 1 to 1.3 percent. Almost all snapping turtles who survive to adulthood enjoy long lives and die of old age. Snapping turtles often live more than 100 years with a maximum theoretical life span of 170 years."
Avatar ♥ 6:33am
Yetz:

Apparently you can estimate their age by counting rings on their shell (like trees) but I can't find a picture where you can really see the rings clearly. I might just have to take my kayak out on the Chicago River and go look for him myself! (When I'm recovered, that is)

I don't know that one Michael, but looking up the author (Holling C. Holling), I see that he also wrote "Paddle-to-the-Sea" which is very charming, was made into a film and my friends in the Third Coast Percussion Ensemble produced a new soundtrack for the film and performed it live...
  7:12am
Michael from down Richmond way:

Dale, I don’t know if they migrate like that but if the live as long as they do maybe it’s possible they could make it that far? Regardless, seems more of a device to tell the story of the Mississippi. Yetz, Paddle to the See is also really good. For me, it’s the marginalia that really makes his books special.

Ok had to look it up: "DO ANTS SLEEP? A recent study of ants’ sleep cycle found that the average worker ant takes approximately 250 naps each day, with each one lasting just over a minute. That adds up to 4 hours and 48 minutes of sleep per day. The research also found that 80 percent of the ant workforce was awake and active at any one time."
