9. Best I can come up with is a softshell turtle, Apalone spinifera.

They're pretty common but you don't see them very often.

14. I like soft shells more than logger heads but both are nearing endangered I think. nt

19. This one was a northern spiny softshell, which I found in Lake Pepin,

a wide spot in the Mississippi River between Minnesota and Wisconsin. They are not endangered, but its relative, the smooth softshell (Apalone mutica) is of "special concern" in the area, though it's not on the federal endangered species list.

11. Bighorn Sheep

This one could be some kind of sheep meme.

[AndyS]

15. Hummm, might make a whole different 'sheeple' meme 😀
