Oh, I believe it’s one of those “will bite two of your fingers clean off” tort
Perhaps. It did hiss at me.
That's a snapper. It's a mean bastard and will bite your shit right off. Getting them to leave the road can be a real battle.
I just walked behind him and he went.
Ive shooed many of these big boys off the road. This is the best method, peferably while shouting 'git you turtle! Shoo!'.
Oh, I forgot that part. My bad.
It comes with experience. You'll remember next time.
Ah, you found a dragon! By which I mean a snapping turtle. Probably the species called common snapping turtle.
Fun ~~fact~~ opinion: snapping turtles look way more elegant in the water than on land.
Dragon lol
They definitely look more like dragons than, like, any other turtles do.
