The biggest turtle I’ve ever seen not in a zoo

There I was, sitting comfortably in my trailer working on another puzzle to create. I look out the window and oh my, my, my… I saw this huge creature off in the distance! I rushed out to gather anyone who was close to go marvel at it. So a few of us curiously gathered around it… a huge turtle!

This is a soft shelled snapping turtle. As it walked through the grassy field, I noticed the back of its shell was giving way to its legs. These soft shells have always fascinated.

How about that nose, huh?

Thanks for dropping in…
