As Someone From An Area With A Lot Of These Bastards (alligator Snapping Turtles Specifically, Which

As someone from an area with a lot of these bastards (alligator snapping turtles specifically, which are much larger), this is all great and true, but I feel like yall are underestimating these guys a bit. Admittedly i don't have as much experience with the smaller ones, but better safe than sorry.

Not contradicting the instructions, those are super good and I have helped snapping turtles across the road w similar methods, but if you're not familiar w animals or not confirdent, JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE and call animal control or your local department of wildlife. I have seen the damage these guys can do, they will literally bite off chunks of your hand or arm. Also, if you do help one along the road, remember their neck is MUCH longer than you think it is, and there's a solid chance when you put them down they will turn and snap at you, so back up immediately. They're faster on land than you think.

Not to ruin the mood of the cute comic (which is wonderful, my only critique is to add that they may turn and snap when you set them down at the end) but seriously, these are dangerous wild animals, please be careful.

trying to decide if i'd rather be a tortoise or a turtle. on the one hand I prefer dry land, on the other hand turtles can breathe out of their cloacae so. it's tricky

please reblog for a bigger sample size

“i am a monument to all your sins” is such a fucking raw line for a villain it’s amazing that it came from halo, a modernish video game, and not some classical text or mythos
