I remember a few years ago there was a gif making around of some kind of hell turtle in an aquarium casually ripping a live mouse in two…

I'd keep my distance, is what I'm saying.

Regular snapping turtles just look mean and grumpy, the alligator ones look like angry hellspawn that got timewarped in from prehistoric times.

the funny thing is, the common turtles are the aggressive ones that will gently caress you up for getting close while the loggerheads are pretty chill so long as you don't put anything in their mouths.

Snapping turtles are awesome as long as you don't gently caress with them. Had to help one across the road on a base when I was in the Air Force, thing was the size of a full size semi tire, we used a walking cane to basically drag him across the road as he gaped his mouth threateningly at us.

Must've been at least 50 year old turtle. Guy was living in a retention pond with Alligators, if he was that big nobody was willing to gently caress with him.

Not only do common snappers have way more reach than alligator snappers, they have enough neck and speed to strike like a snake. Alligator snappers are like bear traps, just avoid the sharp end and you're fine. Common snappers are like a bear trap on an RC car with a toddler at the controls.

Snapping turtles feed by just laying around with their mouths open, wiggling their tongues around so it looks like a worm and then waiting for something to decide to check it out.

I once lived in a condo that had a large pond out back. We populated it with ducks and it was already full of Florida softshell turtles (the doofiest looking things).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQpLRRlQwIo


I guess a family of otters found their way in via the drainage system and started terrorizing the resident animals.

You'd be sitting on the porch and the things would pop out of the water, grab a sunbathing turtle, flip it upside down, drag it into the water by it's rear end, and swim off chittering excitedly to themselves while the poor softshell was left to right itself and rocket up the bank. The Florida sofshell can loving move when it wants to. They kinda hop when scared or angry, all four legs propelling the body up off the ground like a wind-up toy.

The otters went after the ducks, too. Indian Runners and Pekin ducks, so they couldn't fly very well. Grab them by the tail, drag 'em down into the water, and let 'em go to pop up like an angry, loud cork.

That lasted until they taunted the Boxer dog enough that she went in to rescue her ducks. No one was happy with the result, least of all Roxy when she found out she couldn't swim. Scared the piss out of every other animal there though!

Of course! Wouldn't let my girl down.

Boxers have big chests. She floated, head up, without knowing what to do but attack the water. By the time I got down the bank, her back legs found ground and kept going. She still thought she was drowning until I grabbed the scruff of her neck and pulled her up.

Imagine a 70lb. Boxer who loves you, thinks you saved her life, and is covered in muck. That all ended up on me, all four legs clinging and head on my neck.

So dramatic. Three adults and four children laughing at her.

Any time I see someone holding one I think back to my neighbor's sandbox when we were really young. A massive snapping turtle had decided to nest there, right next to a really deep part of the creek. His dad went out there all indignant with a push broom to relocate the thing and it literally snapped the handle in half.

So that's how we ended up with baby anger turtles all over our creek.

sounds like it's their creek now
