Doom Break - Alligator snapping turtle snaps a Pineapple in half!!

that poor animal

It's like a Flintstones infomercial.

do yall know how BAD those damn snapping turtles SMELL????

omfg

ill NEVER touch another one again...the smell is atrocious.

in Florida, its common to see gopher tortoises crossing the road.
there is always the one person who thinks its a game to run them over.
we were taught to get them before this happens, and to put the tortoise in the direction he is headed or he will simply turn right around and go back across the road.

i came across a medium sized snapping turtle at a really bad tight curve on a back road.worst spot to try and cross so we stopped, of course and afterwards i realized the SMELL was putrid.
it was gawdawful, i just cant describe.it was worse than regular rotting vegetation.

it got on the steering wheel and the door handles...i had to smell it and feel it and i learned i need gloves next time.
IF i decide to brave that smell.

Wow

Wouldn’t mess with him

There is a street close by that borders with Vermont, half the street is in Canada half in America. At a curve a snapping turtle almost the size of the one in the video was crossing the road to the states, so before it could get hit by a car I carried him over to the "land of the free" LOL

I didn't know they had long tails like that. I thought all turtles had short tails

:themoreyouknow:

Turtle trafficking!!

He hurriedly went through some tall grass down into a stream

They really look like dinosaurs

Yes, I've dragged dozens of them out of the road in years past. They're fast too! You gotta grab'em just right!

Living in the Ozarks..... It's wild! lol

I love you even more now!!! Anyone who will take the time to move a turtle, especially a big snapper off the road is a hero to me! They can get so heavy it takes two hands to drag them!!!

That's a small one compared to some I have seen here in Texas but it can definitely take a hand off.

you could play with the painted turtle and some of the other hardbacks ... but man, never went close to the snappers ..


I wonder what they would do with a lemon instead of a pineapple?

I saw a snapper in Allen Texas in one of those city ponds they have. It was the size of the back of a big car seat. Just monstrous! Biggest one I’ve ever seen. It saw me and blip! It was gone!!!

He’d probably get a sour look on his face.....

I grew up in Texas and had pretty big creek behind our house. There were quite a few alligator snappers there and a few that size. One time after a big rain we found one sitting in our driveway and started poking it with a broom handle. The thing bit it in two like it was wet spaghetti.

I caught and released the same damn turtle about 5 times in 3 years.He would not stay off the road.I know it was the same one cause he only had 1 eye.As big or bigger then the one in the vid.Like picking up a bag of concrete only with claws and jaws.Some people actually eat those things.Be careful where you swim.

They like to travel from pond to pond for the lady snappers.....
