Turtles rock, there is a reason they have been around so long :hai:
ever see an alligator snapper?WAY more aggressive then your average snapper I have seen the spines flatten 4 ply tires :eek:
Damn! That's a badassed looking little fucker.:eek:
I have seen one alligator snapper when I was in newport and it was far bigger then any of the turtles seen her but holy shit. Gotta love watching half mutilated almost headless mice (not rats) and one or two hamsters try to swim away.
Yes, whats confusing about that. Reptiles can move fast when they are trying to eat you!
about 6 months ago I got chased by a 30lb iguana!!(the head was the size of a pitbulls) , he was eating some rotten fruit in the town plaza and I didn't see him. I walked up about 4 feet from him, then he jumped at me about 3 feet (in one jump) then I jumped out into the road, followed by the iguana then he stops in the middle of the road in front of a car.I walked away(with a good adrenalin buzz) and the people in the car chose a different route(iguana wasn't going to move)
I know reptiles are fast, komodo have awesome speed, crocs, lizards. etc.
But turtles? don't get me wrong...I'm not doubting it, I was just surprised that snapping turtles have some speed with those flippery looking paws of theirs.

In my limited expirence with one it was pretty slow. Then again looking at that crocodile snapper I would run too.

As an aside, those look more like mice than rats
